It never was made clear how exactly a new ice age caused magic to be a thing but I tried not to ask too many questions about that one and just enjoyed it as a fantasy from the get-go.īut then came the mushy, over the top romance, which totally ruined things for me.
There are other magical creatures, too, even zombies, which I thought was probably taking things a bit too far but I was willing to let that slide. What makes the world in Frozen even cooler (no pun intended) is the ‘Marked’. That made it really easy to place myself into this story and vividly imagine the environment, complete with trashbergs (like icebergs but made of trash, or rubbish as we like to call it in the UK). Our story starts off in a very different Las Vegas to the one we know now, but it still felt remarkably familiar (particularly as I was in Vegas this very January). It’s a sort of dystopian fantasy world, set in a future in which everything is frozen (duh).
I loved, and I mean LOVED, the world in Frozen.
There are some elements to this book that I absolutely fell in love with, and there are others I really, really disliked. Danger and deceit await on every corner, even as Nat and Wes find themselves inexorably drawn to each other. More importantly, it’s a place where Nat won’t be persecuted, even if her darkest secret comes to light.īut passage to the Blue is treacherous, if not impossible, and her only shot is to bet on a ragtag crew of mercenaries led by cocky runner named Ryan Wesson to take her there. Like many, she’s heard of a mythical land simply called “the Blue.” They say it’s a paradise, where the sun still shines and the waters are turquoise. The diamond in the ice desert is still a 24-hour hedonistic playground and nothing keeps the crowds away from the casino floors, never mind the rumours about sinister sorcery in its shadows.Īt the heart of this city is Natasha Kestal, a young blackjack dealer looking for a way out. Like much of the destroyed planet, the place knows only one temperature – freezing. Welcome to New Vegas, a world once covered in bling, now blanketed in ice. Completely unique dystopian, fantasy world that crumbles thanks to crater-sized plot holes.įollow my blog with Bloglovin Frozen summary ( from Goodreads)
