Shattered iceberg I loved the action the imperfections of Kaia and the general vibes of this book It s fun and unique and I can t wait to see what else Rebekka Strand has in store 387 Teenage angst high stakes competition an unspoken thing and running from the bad guys This was a great adventure sci fi Kaia had so much riding on escaping and getting to the surface it was amazing to understand all of the ins and outs of the world she lived in and the risk if she stayed versus left. Book Shattered iced And the perils she experiences under the glacier and in the city above the surface was unique to me The setting is so cool and the description of it is wonderful I really appreciated the world building throughout But at times I wish there was even detail because of how fast and grand the planet seemed The characters were so fun but I appreciated the old hag the most Her purpose and helping Kaia was immense Again it seems so unique I am so looking forward to another book to continue this adventure and to find out what happens with Kaia Biorki and many other characters 387 This is my first time reading any type of science fiction novel and I absolutely loved it great way to be introduced to the genre The way this had me hooked from the beginning was so damn good I love Kaia so much and she is so much stronger than she will ever know I can t wait for this was amazing 387 Review Another YA novel set in a narcissistic reality Everything and I mean EVERYTHING is about Kaia Yeah someone actually went and put a twist on the often used name KAI Yep she did that Kaia likes to HIYAH down the glacial slopes in her glacier board because it is so cool and stuff and if she could just save enough money to get in a race while buying her dad a new helmet that would be so rad But there is evilly peeps around and she is just so mad and stuff Like when everyone got blown up and she was so in grief and shock but people died cause of her and she will never be good enough so I cried for a long time then got better with sick friends Not the real sick kind but cool sick Rating 1.After graduating with an M.05.2 5 387.
