KingAether Posted December 28, 2019 Share Posted December 28, 2019 "In the Northlands, beleaguered by the ever-encroaching Ice and the marauding Ekwesh, a young cowherd, Alv, saved from the raiders by the mysterious Mastersmith, discovers in himself and uncanny power to shape metal - but it is a power that may easily be turned to evil ends, and on a dreadful night Alv flees the Mastersmith, and embarks on the quest to find both his own destiny, and a weapon that will let him stand against the Power of the Ice." Found these two in a charity shop today, haven't read them so can't give a review right now but i'm sure my partner will only take a few days to blast through new books in the house so i will edit an update soon.

Chris Williams Posted December 29, 2019 Share Posted December 29, 2019 It's from the Winter of the World series. There is at least one more in the series. I will post the name if I can find it when I get home. I really enjoyed them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Latticino Posted December 30, 2019 Share Posted December 30, 2019 Thanks for the heads up. I've read some of his other books in a different series (Spiral) and greatly enjoyed his prose. I look forward to reading these. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omnislug Posted June 9, 2020 Share Posted June 9, 2020 This series is a must read for anyone with a real passion for smithcraft. I've read it twice now and probably will again. It's worth whatever Amazon is charging for it and then some Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lafnian1990 Posted December 10, 2020 Share Posted December 10, 2020 I love the thinking of Ray Bradbury. These are unique books with meaning and a sense of reality. My favorite book is Ice and Fire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomasPowers Posted December 10, 2020 Share Posted December 10, 2020 As in the series: "The Song of Ice and Fire"; or the Cookbook, "The Feast of Ice and Fire"; or a different one all together? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
