Fantasy with some Mystery
So shame on me for taking so long to read and review this book. I kind of forgot about it and it's been languishing on my shelves for way too long.
I was thrilled to pick up this book and be immediately hooked on the story of a world that is supposedly paradise only to be revealed the dark truth of the world. It gave me Snowpiercer vibes and I was all for it. Now the books does bounce between a few different characters, which if an author is doing it correctly means that the reader is disappointed when we have to switch storylines. This author does it right, I can't tell you how many times I was frustrated to be moving away from one storyline to another, however I was then quickly sucked back into the other storyline and felt frustrated when we switched storylines again. As a reader this a good problem to have as too often we have favorite storyline and then the others that are far more tedious. Not with this book!
