![]() ![]() My personal preference lies in the first book because I'd never read anything like it. I would have liked to have seen those elements get drawn out more or perhaps had the supporting characters show deeper ambivalence. My only gripe is that everything was fleshed out so well through the majority of the book and then a few things were resolved very quickly (too quickly?) in the last couple of chapters. There's a lot of imagination in this and it's fun to read. Towards the end, both narratives storm into action which Warner has a good knack of writing. Both storylines reveal the characters and weave together well. However, the slow down isn't boring or unnecessary, either. It gave the pacing a kind of limp along action that I'm not entirely pleased with but was okay enough. It makes for a rhythmic read with alternating chapters of intensity and slow down, intensity and slow down. Lysi needs to get back to Meela at all costs and Meela needs to figure out the mystery behind something she's not even sure exists. Lysi's storyline is more action based while Meela's is a meandering of sorts where we feel her frustration and angst. In Ice Crypt we get a much slower, balanced story with alternating view points between the main characters Meela and Lysi. ![]() It was a true grit blood bath that I loved and I'm not even a fan of blood. Ice Massacre was a dark edge-of-your-seat action packed adventure with two female armies fighting to decimate each other. Ice Crypt is a worthy sequel to Ice Massacre but different in style. ![]()
