A review by jessiqa
A Dream of Ice by Gillian Anderson
3.0
This is the second book in the Earthend Saga, picking up a week after the events of the first book, A Vision of Fire. Caitlin O’Hara is a psychologist who specializes in counseling troubled teens. In the previous book, she encountered teens who were being possessed by people from a prehistoric culture called Galderkhaan. Caitlin is trying to adjust to normal life after the events of the previous book, but her son starts behaving oddly, making her wonder of the Galderkhaani threat remains. Meanwhile, an archaeologist working for The Group makes some very interesting discoveries in Antarctica after a scientist disappears mysteriously.
This book definitely can only be read if you’ve read the first book in the series first. (It’s also probably best not to have a two year gap between reading the two books like I did.) That being said, it follows on nicely and we learn so much more about Galderkhaan in this book. It’s also nice that O’Hara finally becomes aware of The Group in this one. Gillian Anderson is perhaps best known for her work as Agent Scully on The X-Files and she left a tidbit or two in for her fans, such having a character say, “I want to believe.” If you’re in the mood for a series that incorporates fantasy, magic, and paranormal occurrences, you will likely enjoy this. However, The X-Files did it better.
