A review by libraryofthieves
Cage of Ice and Echoes by Pam Godwin

3.5

I enjoyed this book almost as much as the first. I felt like this one was a little more character driven than the first, which isn’t a bad thing but I’m not particularly invested in any of the characters. There was a lot of inner monologuing from the boys about how they had to protect Frankie and the whole caveman thing started to get old and repetitive real fast. A lot of those scenes could have been majorly cut down.

My main reason for finishing the book - and the series - is because I find the plot really intriguing. This book had a lot of big reveals and I thoroughly enjoyed finding out Monty’s backstory and the parentage of the boys.

I’m not sure how I feel about the reveal at the end. I have hope that it will be incorporated well in the third book but right now it feels a bit thrown in and doesn’t really make sense to me. I’m also not sure how I’m going to feel about this new setting now that the survival aspect of the story is basically resolved. That was my main enjoyment of the series and I’m worried I won’t like it as much without that.

I plan to still read the last book though so we’ll see if everything ties together in the end!
