I had the pleasure of meeting the wonder writing at a conventions and she was just fabulous. This book was everything I hoped for Olina is so spunky, and you just can't keep her down she just keeps on fighting. It is also quite hysterical that she is so "prim" (as Kendrick calls her) in the beginning but then learns the way of the people on Glacium which is just the opposite. I just finished this book today and have already stated the second book. Ugh...just cant wait to know what happens next.
