Fantasy, Fiction 

From Goodreads:
Lira and Reyker have lost everything. Including each other. 

Lira of Stone watched her home burn and her clan fall beneath the sword of the warlord known as the Dragon. She believes the man she loves, a warrior who defected from the Dragon s army, is dead. Alongside her exiled brother and his band of refugees, she will fight the forces that conquered her island. But the greatest danger may come from Lira herself with the blood of banished gods running through her veins, she s become a weapon, and no one is safe from the power of her wrath. 

Reyker Lagorsson thought he was done being a Dragonman. That was before he saw Lira leap from a cliff and vanish into the sea. Determined to honor her memory by protecting her people, Reyker must feign loyalty to the warlord, undermine him at every turn, and seek alliances with renegade soldiers without succumbing to the battle-madness that threatens to possess him once more. 

When the Fallen Ones offer Lira a chance to defeat the Dragon, her quest leads her to a place she never expected Iseneld, the warlord s homeland. Her journey into the heart of the Frozen Sun will put her on a collision course with Reyker, costing both of them more than they ever imagined, and leaving her with a terrible choice: to save their countries, she must forsake everything she loves.

“I love you.” 
It was a whisper, a breath, caressing my skin like a breeze. The whisper became a kiss. I closed my eyes and leaned into it, into him, his chest pressing against my spine, his arms encircling me. His mouth started at my ear, wandering leisurely down my neck. 
I sighed, my bones turning to liquid. “Do you think you’ll ever get tired of saying it?” 
“Perhaps in a thousand years.” 

What the mother eff. I cannot believe that just happened. 

Oh my gods. Please, please stop hurting my loves. Reyker. Lira. Holy sh*t. These two went through so much. SO MUCH. I don't think I can survive the next book. I barely even survived this one. I honestly want to cry. 

Jill Criswell, you're evil. And brilliant. And an amazing, amazing writer.

Kingdom of Ice and Bone was pure brilliance and action and everything you'd want in a sequel. I don't know what else to say. I just finished reading this and all I want to do now is to keep Reyker safe. Away from the bloodshed and deaths and Draki. Ugh, Draki. Seriously, what is wrong with this guy?!? 

I don't know what book three has in store for us but I. Need. It. Now. 

I received an ARC to read and review.
