This is a VERY BIG book. That’s not a bad thing but just be aware.

Another great post-apocalyptic story. This time the rich and powerful have messed up trying to “fix” things and created a bigger problem—a raging, endless winter. No invasion, war or other event—just the weather which is merciless and unpredictable.

The book starts a bit slowly as we meet our characters early on and they are just normal average people that find themselves out of their depth. If they are going to survive, they’ll have to adapt, learn and evolve quickly. I’m reminded of that commercial “it’s not nice to fool Mother Nature”.

We’ll developed story that flows smoothly with nothing far fetched. It all sounds possible.

Totally enjoyed the book which is excellently crafted and well developed. Our characters are shaped by events, a storyline that tests them in many ways and a harsh environment that made we want to crawl into bed and hide. I’m pretty sure if snow started to fall while I was reading this I would have panicked. I fell into the story and didn’t want to leave. Excellent read but note the length. I did get involved in the storyline and didn’t want to leave it which kind of messed with my schedule—totally worth it!
