When We Wake by Karen Healey
3.0
Hmmm...freezing people. Keeping them in a frozen state to be woken up later.
Great idea....It's not the first dystopian that I've read like this..but it was still an interesting idea. To take Tegan so suddenly, for her life to be taken so quickly, it was a shocking beginning.
But the story didn't have that hook or that drive to really hold me. I found it interesting, but I'm not sure if it's the deep politics, the theories and struggles over God and the thoughts He would have on it - but it ended up being very slow going for me. I felt myself slogging through chapters not enjoying it. Fascinated, yes, but not swept up in the story. I'm not sure if I'll read book 2. I'll have to see if the story stays with me and really pushes me to read more.
