Valley
By Stacey McEwan
Valley is the third and final book in the Glacian Trilogy. Dawsyn Sabar of the Ledge, has gone to the Chasm to find a better life for her people. The Chasm is unknown to most, so they must tread carefully. Yennes is the only survivor to have traveled through the Chasm and lived, but not without cost. Dawsyn cannot take her people back to the forgotten village, for the Queen is looking for her, and the new Glacian King is hunting for her, after leaving him battered and bloody on the Ledge. Dawsyn must lead her people blindly into the unknown, with limited supplies, and an unknown illness starting to take over the people, all while Dawsyn and Yennes’ magic is waning. Will Dawsyn, her friends, and the people of the Ledge survive, or will all be lost?
I loved the multiple POVs of this book. Valley was a fantastic final book. All of the questions that I had in Ledge and Chasm were answered. I miss Baltisse so much! This book had me cracking up and crying all in one go. Stacey wrapped up the trilogy beautifully! I will 100% reread the entire series over and over again. I love the dynamic of Dawsyn and Ryons’ relationship. I also appreciate that their relationship does not overshadow the importance of saving the people of the Ledge and the injustice that the Ledge people and the half Glacians have gone through.
This book is 5/5!!! Thank you Stacey for such an amazing book, and I hope you write so many more!

This started SO SLOWLY. There were TWENTY CHAPTERS of the characters slowly slogging through the pages that were intermingled with flashbacks. After loving the second book, this one fell flat for me. I was bored and the only thing that had me keep going was how much I enjoyed book 2.
What I did like about the book is that it did wrap up the story really well. The author did some surprising things with the ending that departed from what one might expect, which was welcome. I do think that one of the deaths was just done because the author decided not everyone could live through the end battle scene, it seemed completely unnecessary and contrived. I was more annoyed than upset.
Dawsyn is still a badass and I love that she’s borderline autistic with the way she’s written. It’s actually quite refreshing that she’s not so touchy feely. Also, yay third person writing!
Last thing though.. what the hell is Ruby’s third lesson???
Not spoilery out of context, but someone help me out here! See below:
Ruby seems baffled, awe-struck. “What is the third lesson?” Ruby blurts, her chest heaving. “You never told me.” Dawsyn only shakes her head as she stands again. “Nothing you need learn.” She has never been more certain of anything.
