The Snow Queen by Joan D. Vinge6/11/2023 Their only chance at surviving the change is if Arienrhod, the ageless, corrupt Snow Queen, can destroy destiny with an act of genocide. But soon the galactic stargate will close, isolating Tiamat, and the 150-year reign of the Summer primitives will begin. The imperious Winter colonists have ruled the planet Tiamat for 150 years, deriving wealth from the slaughter of the sea mers. Which is probably why it took me two months to finish the thing…įirst line: Here on Tiamat, where there is more water than land, the sharp edge between ocean and sky is blurred the two merge into one. And it was enjoyable to some degree but it just never really grabbed me. As a sort of retelling of The Snow Queen (the fairy tale by Hans Christian Andersen) and a Hugo and Nebula Award winner, I thought this would be just my jam. This book took me way longer to read than expected.
