Yaz lives on Abeth, a planet covered by ice, safe for a strip of land around the equator of the planet, kept alive by an artificial moon. Her adventure begins as she jumps into the Pit of the Missing where her brother is pushed in by the priests that control the Ice tribes. And down in the tunnels under the ice, she not only finds truths about her world, but also about herself… I read the Book of the Ancestor trilogy years ago and it is one of the book series I still think about. One can imagine how amazing it felt for me to return to this world. I was always fascinated by the world building, a world covered in Ice with many secrets and lost civilisations below it. As we follow Yaz on her journey, we learn a lot about the history of the world, which I don‘t want to spoil. One thing I love about this world is the variety of magic powers, some of which feel a bit overpowered but honestly that‘s the vibe of the story. Yaz and her friends are young people who grew up under the harsh conditions of Abeth and now have to figure out their place in the world. The character development is amazing, as the characters are pretty young in the beginning of the sotry. On their journey they find friendship, love and found family. It wouldn‘t be a Mark Lawrence book without severaly gorey scenes and heartbreaking losses, so keep in mind there are some pretty graphic scenes. Book 3 in particular referenced the other trilogy which instantly makes me want to jump back into the story from the very beginning and made the entire experience perfect for me. I can not recommend this series enough and I really wish there were more books in this world. 4⭐️ for the entire trilogy
