What happens when our only chance of survival is the most hostile place on earth?
Though the idea and the outcomes of the cold people are pretty neat, I felt like the alien invasion was just the easiest story trope ever and I wished for more elaboration on that part. Why did they even bother transferring human built monuments to Antarctica?
And why create super creatures, fully aware of their possible strengths, created and overwatched by the apparently most intelligent people alive but fully missing their ability to break free through the ice, when they are built for surviving in that environment?
I'm not fully satisfied about some of the plotholes and I feel like the story was rushed at many points, failing to fully explain the things happening. But overall I enjoyed that read and the concept of having to adapt to the harshest conditions thinkable and that it could be an opportunity to finally live together in peace of that's our only way of survival
