The first chapter was pretty heavy with the world building, but when some dialogue began with another character and the reader was able to see more of the dynamics and learn what the plot was developing into, it was a great hook. I will definitely be looking to finish the story soon!

While two chapters isn't a whole lot to go off of, the premise is interesting. I actually enjoyed the first two chapters and found myself wanting more! It was giving me Hunger Games vibe for sure.

I see a lot of mixed reviews, however I think I will be picking this one up to continue reading! It has piqued my interest. For now, since I only have the first two chapters, I will give a rating of 3.5 rounded up to 4.

This was such an incredible beginning, it had amazing writing and so many things I already wanted to underline. The plot was intriguing and so was a possible romance... I will definitely pick up the full book at some point!

⭐️rating: 4.5/5

Only two chapters and I’m already hooked! This world and its characters are already so intriguing that I have to read the book now. I have so many questions, and the writing was already sucking me in. Because of that, I’m giving this a 4.5/5 and I’m hopeful the rest of the book (since I gotta read it now) will live up to that.

Thanks NetGalley for the exclusive two chapter sampler! All thoughts and opinions are my own.

This sampler has me reeling for more; providing a glimpse into a world that is a blend of Hunger Games and Game of Thrones that had me hooked from the first page.

Thank you, NetGalley and Angry Robot for sending me a sampler in exchange for my honest review.

Very gripping from the two free chapters I will definitely be keeping a look out for this book being released

I received a sample of the first 2 chapters of Ledge, and although it is not enough for me to form a proper opinion, it was enough to intrigue me and it has led me to want to read the rest of the book. It seems like an interesting premise and the first chapters were enough of a hook to get me into the story.

This was a great sample, it included the first two chapters and made me want to read more. This is a first for me by the author and one I enjoyed and I would read more of their work. The book cover is eye-catching and appealing and would spark my interest if it were in a bookshop. Thank you to the author, publisher and Netgalley for this ARC.

Thank you to NetGalley, the author and the publisher for a chance to read a short excerpt in exchange for an honest review. While I really wanted to like it, two chapters weren't enough to pull me into the story. The concept was interesting enough, but with what I've read so far I'm not eager to pick up the full copy.

This little teaser is honestly fantastic. I felt drawn in and interested immediately and I need to know what happens next. The plot so far is intriguing and the writing easy to read. I’m ready to start this series in earnest!

Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for providing a sampler of Ledge in exchange for a honest review.

2* for an interesting premise but lacklustre worldbuilding and a narrative voice that needed a little more work to be compelling.

These earlier chapters needed more beta reading to really grab the reader in. I found chapter two heavy with exposition that quickly put me off.

It is hard to review a book based on a sampler but unfortunately Ledge did not interest or engage me enough. I will not be buying the whole book.

This seems interesting and like it may be an interesting read based on the first couple of chapters. I'm left intrigued and wanting to know more.

I honestly couldn't get into this book based on the first 2 chapters within this sampler. I was intrigued and very happy to read the sampler but it felt short to help me decide if I would pick up the book in the future.

Thank you to the Author for the opportunity to read and look forward to checking out future books.

What a promising first couple of chapters this is!

I don’t usually prefer an omnipresent writing style, but the author has written this so well, including portions of detail in between events or dialogue, that the pacing remains strong and kept my interest.

We don’t learn too much about the FMC in these opening chapters, but what we do learn is most definitely intriguing.

The setting is beautifully descriptive and genuinely made me shudder from imaginary cold.

I am very intrigued to see what happens from the rest of the story and more from this author in the future.

This is an excellent first book in a fantasy series about a village who are sacrificed up onto a ledge in the mountains to serve as food for the “glacians”

Dawsyn manages to escape with the help of a hybrid glacian and so follows a romance of enemies to lovers between the two as they attempt to evade capture and imminent death.

The end lands on a cliff hanger that leaves way for book number 2.

It was hard to judge this based on the first two chapters alone.
The world building was great, the characters seem like they’re going to be interesting, but I felt like I needed more content to judge the prose, plot development, etc.
I liked what I read, and I’ve added this to be TBR to read it fully and will then make a full judgement.

It's hard to give feedback based on 2 chapters. They didn't knock my socks off but I was intrigued enough to add ledge to my wishlist

As a person that has already read the first 2 books in this series, it was so fun to revisit the first two chapters in this book. I love how you are immediately dropped into the frozen terrain of the Ledge and introduced to how amazing Dawsyn is. With this little teaser sample, I think readers would be eager to finish the book. Be sure to check this one out!!

The cold is not alive.

Wow, as a reader that has read this book, I had forgotten how well the first two chapters drew me in and led me to not being able to stop. This sample drops you into the world Stacey created from the first page and immerses you into the frozen terrain of the Ledge. This little snipped would definitely leave me wanting more!! The way Stacey details life on the Ledge and the terrain of where Dawsyn lives brings a chill down my spine every time. With the tease of the Selection, readers would be eager to see where this story goes and what adventures lie in wait for Dawsyn.

Only read the sample and so excited to see how this goes, I wouldn’t be able to give an honest review based on 2 chapter unfortunately.
Unable to really comment further sorry. But it is on my TBR

Thanks netgalley for the 2 chapter arc sample
