Stitching Snow
by R.C. Lewis
I'm beginning to realize that I have a soft spot for YA sci-fi. I (almost) always end up really enjoying them and this one was no exception. Space ships and secrets and intrigue for the win!
I ended up really liking the main character Essie. She's pretty gruff and, while her pushing everyone away got a touch annoying, her strong spirit more than won me over. Let'a just say Essie is one tough chick. Seriously, she makes extra money by fighting a bunch of surly miners. And builds robots in her spare time.
Speaking of Essie's robots, I really enjoyed them and the parallels to the seen dwarves they represent. Especially Dimwit, who I totally fell in love with.
Then there's Dane. A crash landing brings them together, but there's a lot more than that to keep them together (not always with both party's consent). I really liked Dane. He actually probably one of my favourite YA boys of 2014.
The part with Essie's dad really creeped me out a lot. However, I feel like it should have been bigger somehow to have a bit more impact, because I do think it added another layer to the story.
Overall, I'd call Stitching Snow a win. Definitely adding it to my list of YA Sci-fi, which is possibly becoming my new favourite sub-genre.
