Ice Breaker by Lian Tanner

4.0

The cover caught my eye. The blurb inside the cover captured my attention. By the first chapter of Icebreaker I was hooked. The odd, dark world of the Oyster and the complex society in which Petrel struggles to survive reeled me in. (Okay, enough of the fishing metaphors.) Tanner sets a compelling story in a fascinating world full of interesting characters. This is a great choice for any reader who is looking for a less violent dystopian tale (think [b:The City of Ember|307791|The City of Ember (Book of Ember, #1)|Jeanne DuPrau|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1397931596s/307791.jpg|2285229] and [b:Gregor the Overlander|262430|Gregor the Overlander (Underland Chronicles, #1)|Suzanne Collins|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1387742259s/262430.jpg|524491] rather than [b:The Hunger Games|2767052|The Hunger Games (The Hunger Games, #1)|Suzanne Collins|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1447303603s/2767052.jpg|2792775] and [b:Divergent|13335037|Divergent (Divergent, #1)|Veronica Roth|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1328559506s/13335037.jpg|13155899].
