I really appreciate how much research Rollins does for his novels. Making certain that the science is plausible, that the schematics of places make sense, and that the cultures/ languages used are accurate all really suck me into his stories. I could really picture this happening all under society's nose. I enjoyed seeing the Inuit elements brought in and how they wove together with the plot. Matt and Jenny were certainly the two characters I cared about most in this book, and I loved that Jenny was really connected with her heritage. I was very into science in high school and my first couple of years at university, so I geeked out whenever the science elements of the novel began being explained.

I read this as an audiobook, so all of the characters began to overwhelm me at parts. I unfortunately just picked out the ones I thought were important, and I ended up ignoring most of the others. It turned out to be an okay decision because most of the characters add very little to the story besides serving as punching bags. As a result, I wasn't as invested in this one as much as I was when I read Amazonia. As I said before, Matt and Jenny (Inuk) are fantastic. I also really liked Amanda who is deaf. It was really interesting to see her experience the trauma of this book without her hearing. She ends up feeling explosions rather than hearing them, and she has to keep up as people quickly make decisions and don't always remember to turn toward her so that she can read their lips. Her love interest was okay too, but I didn't really pick him out as important and didn't learn his name. I ultimately had a great time experiencing this novel, and I'm looking forward to reading more stories by him.
