Very good character development, but I found the setting to not be really relevant to the story, when the setting was the main draw for me. The slowly freezing world doesn't seem to have a huge impact on the main characters' lives (as in the main characters don't seem to address it that much), even though technically the book is interspersed with news reports and changes in the community. The ending was also rather abrupt and did not seem like a resolution. Additionally, there's not a HUGE amount of stuff that happens plot-wise. However, the characters are very well-made and fully developed, with very distinct identities and personalities
