Mixed review It reads a bit like fantasy but it's post-apocalypse. The apocalypse happened when, according to the rulers, the Jadans angered the crier and that ripped cold away. Now cold is a commodity, the land is a desert and the rivers boil and the Jadans are the slaves of petty Nobles who have the power of life and death over the Jadans. The Jadans are raised in communal houses, taken from their parents and given to others to raise. Their lives are nasty, brutish and short and things are grim.
Micah escapes the dorm at night, looking for things to (illegally) tinker with and to try to make his life, and the life of others better. He encounters are more rebellious Jadan and realises that life isn't always obvious.
It's interesting and the characters are well drawn but the world is a mystery. I didn't really get what was going on and why and eventually I just was underwhelmed by it all. I am curious to know what's going on but I don't really feel an urgency to find the next book.
