Ice Forged
ByPublisher Description
From one of the most exciting writers of fantasy adventure comes the first novel in The Ascendant Kingdoms Saga, a tale of unpredictable magic, battling warlords, and the lust for vengeance set in the unforgiving frozen wastes at the edge of the world.
Condemned as a murderer for killing the man who dishonored his sister, Blaine "Mick" McFadden has spent the last six years exiled in Velant, a penal colony in the frigid northern wastelands. Harsh military discipline and the oppressive magic keep a fragile peace as colonists struggle against a hostile environment. But the supply ships from Dondareth have stopped coming, boding ill for the kingdom that banished the colonists.
Now, as the world's magic runs wild, McFadden and the people of Velant must fight to survive and decide their fate . . .

“Actual rating: 3.75
I really really liked this book. The idea of taking Ye Olde Fantasy World and making it post-apocalyptic was super cool, as was the penal colony in Greenland setting. It was also a surprisingly fast read for an almost 600 page book. The reason I'm not giving it more stars is the fact that the characters could be rather bland and forgettable. Which is a bit of a problem with such a large cast. Not too big a problem, though. Like I said, this book was awesome.”
