Read recently: The Snow Queen by Joan D. Vinge

So, as I’ve gushed in my last entry, I really loved this book. I found the characters realistic and I found the plot engaging.

Essentially, the story is about two women, Arianrhod, the queen of Winter, who wants to keep power on the planet Tiamat, and her clone, Moon, who is trying to protect her lover, Sparks, from danger and to fulfill an ancient destiny.

There are lots of paralels to the Hans Christian Andersen story of the same title. It was fun to try and pick those out. And I found the anti-empeirialist message interesting.

Assuming my tape recorder hasn't decided to completely break on me, I intend to read the sequels, World's End and The Summer Queen.

ETA: B+ for a grade on this one. Very, very good, but there were definitely some Mary Sue moments for our protagonist.
