Short description

Simon Camp was never thrilled about living underground during this ice age but when the old shaman came to town and instructed him to take a journey on the earth's surface to find his daughter, Simon knew his life would change forever.

Extended description

The summer’s cold wind blasted in Simon’s face as he stepped out onto the front porch, turning to make sure the door was closed tight behind him. Heavy clouds of putrid yellow rippled across the sky, like the famed northern lights, which no longer appeared to delight and awe those lucky enough to see them. The wind, cold and foreboding, made the summers unpleasant. Simon’s mother told him of summers she enjoyed camping and swimming at the lake. Simon shuddered. At minus 16 degrees, the thought of swimming in the lake seemed downright absurd. Of course before the deep freeze set in, anything was possible.

Review by: Grace Morris on Sep. 26, 2012 :
It's almost 500 pages long and it's free. If you get through the first three chapters or so it gets to be pretty good. I liked it, it was worth my time.

What I wasn't too thrilled about was the ending (it's as if the last few chapters were very rushed and not well thought out) and the awful grammar throughout the book.

NOTE: There are about 3 sexual situations that take place in the last 200 pages, so if you are concerned about your child reading this you should check that out first. Other than that there isn't really anything too offensive to be worried about.

I hope there will be a sequel!

OVERALL QUALITY: I give it a B+

(And that means it's pretty dang good because I am a HUGE stickler about grammar)

Review by: Sarah (Workaday Reads) on July 12, 2012 :
This was a short, slightly rushed story with a lot of potential. It read more like a half-fleshed out outline than a finished book. If everything were slowed down and completed the story would be quite interesting.

I loved the world history, but it was simply info-dumped in the beginning. Not a great way to learn everything.

I admit to being completely lost with Caitlyn. She seemed to suffer extreme mood flips and mind changes. I couldn't keep up with her, or understand her. And the insta-love? Don't get me started.

Overall, a very interesting world set-up and great potential for a story, but not completed yet.
