Our Lady of the Ice by Cassandra Rose Clarke
5.0
On Antarctica, the mouldering ruins of an amusement park celebrating androids, intelligent machines, and the future of tomorrow are the basis for a small town at the end of nowhere: Hope City. Most of its denizens have never seen the mainlands or the sun, and some dream of escaping the hard realities of this domed city forever. We meet four characters, whose hopes and plans for Hope City are not just disparate but fundamentally incompatible.
The book was fast paced and drew me in immediately- I read this in almost a single sitting and at the end was a little disappointed it couldn't just keep going. The mysteries of the city are the main undercurrent, but it's the depth of the characters that draws you in.
