The Snow Queen

Some of the people who read my journal really ought to take a gander at this book. There’s a nice anti-imperialist theme that isn’t beaten over one’s head. There’s also a strong feminist aspect to the book, which of course I appreciate, too.

And, in other news, I really love her handling of the romantic tension. There are no big misunderstandings, no stupid miscommunications, but actual conflict that makes one think that keeps her characters apart.

My only quibble with the book so far has been that the narrator really really overacts. A lot. Which is either because some of the dialogue is cheesy or because she just overacts, I can't really tell.

At any rate, I'm not done with the book, so will post a full review when I get to that point.
