Frozen

1/27/16

Honestly I forgot that I even won this book in a contest, but it arrived in the mail just recently. So I figured I'd check it out right away because the other book I'm reading isn't going anywhere. But my first impression of the book was the fact that the cover was really cool. In the sunlight it did this rainbow shine effect, making it look the Northern Lights. I was highly entertained by that for a least twenty minutes. I'm such a simple mind. But I first read it out loud to my mom while waiting in the car with her when we picked up my younger adopted siblings. Lesson learned on that one. We can never take anything seriously when we are together. Especially a book. Anyways, with the first few pages I read, the book felt like it was repeating a lot. Well at least in the very beginning. Also the layout of the book is a little confusing. I say this because it seems to be in parts. Also it switches between two different characters every new chapter. But I do get the setting of the story. It seems like its in the future and that maybe the volcano in Yellow Stone erupted because half of the world is in ruin and froze over. I say this because scientists say that if Yellow Stone erupted, half of the USA would be destroyed and the ash cloud would cover the sky completely, creating the new ice age. But there is one question that rises with this book. Why is is so bad to have blue eyes? Like what happened that made those people so different? If this was our world today, I'd be dead. Or, hunted down. Thats kind of scary to think about. Anyways, that is all I have to say about the book right now. I'm sure there will be a lot to talk about when I get halfway. I wonder what this book has in store for me that had all the big time reviewers praising it. So until next time......

 I'm only a third of the way through the book, but I figured I'd post at least something. Only because I'm sure all of you are getting sick and tired of me not posting anything. You can blame B.A.P.'s coming up comeback for that. Its distracting me. Anyways, the book still has lots of questions that I would like answered. But for the amount that I have read in the past few days, I did learn some stuff. Like the fact that the world pretty much destroyed itself and now everyone is just trying to survive. If the world in this book actually does happen, I feel sorry for the future generations. Its just sad. Also the government is even more controlling as ever. No surprise there. Only because everyone knows that the government will try to take over and be contriving at the end of the world. Its a way to avoid chaos. But maybe they are a little too controlling in the book. Who knows? Anyways, no much has happened. Our leading lady, Nat, has hired a group of guys to get her where she needs to go to find The Blue. A place where its still as beautiful as before the world ended. Only thing is that she doesn't give them much information and she would like to keep it that way. But we all know that her secrets are going to be revealed eventually. Its all a matter of when and how. So until next time.....

When was the last time I posted about this book? When was the last time I picked it up? At least I remember the idea of the book. Sort of. Just bare with me Bookies. Its hard to remember half of the books I read. But at least I'm making in a dent in my catching up. I really slacked off these past few months. Shame on me. Anyways, I'm back to reading Frozen after what feels like forever. For those that need a refresher, like me, the book is about a girl who lives in a world completely different then ours. Its like the future and the world as we know has flooded and froze over. Basically a whole bunch of natural disasters happened and now humanity is trying to survive. Which apparently isn't easy when you can't grow anything because everything is frozen over. Can't hunt, because its illegal and most of the wildlife is extinct anyways. So people are just living off of what they can find or its rationed. Anyways, we mainly follow this girl who is considered to be a dangerous mutant because she was born with a mark and blue eyes. Apparently when the world came to an end, the people with blue eyes changed and became some thing unknown. And being scared of the unknown, society captured them and did tests on them. Such a shame. Anyways, our leading lady has a mission that a voice in her head told her to take on. That mission is to find paradise in the frozen wasteland. Sadly this paradise is impossible to find and many have searched only to fail. Luckly for our leading lady she got a hold of a map that should lead her to this paradise, but she can't do it on her own. So she steals from the casino that she works at, puts the blame on some thieves, and then hires said thieves to take her to a place where this promised land supposedly is. But she can't tell them anything in fear that she would expose what she really is because she lived a life of hiding. So that's all pretty much there is to tell so far in the book. At least that I cam remember. But I'm going to head out and start reading the book. Hopefully I make enough progress to tell you guys what is going on in the book since these guys started their journey. So until next time........

 So it looks like I'm about two thirds of the way through the book. But I can't breath easy yet. I'm still way behind schedule. At least I'm slowly catching up. Anyways, the whole entire time I was reading the book since my last post, its all been about their journey to paradise or The Blue. And I should add that it hasn't been easy for them. We got the military coming after them because they don't have permission to leave the city. Had to gamble for a ship, almost losing. Getting the ship taken over by creatures that look undead, but actually aren't. Almost getting trapped in a pile of garbage. Something big enough to tear their ship apart. And, crew members trying to kill off their captain. Seems like our leading lady has it pretty much easy, right? As long as she helps out by saving the captain and staying away from the trouble makers in the crew. But at least she doesn't have to hid from these guys anymore because they pretty much figured what she was already. Also it helps when you have some color blind crew members. And I guess its a little late for them to turn back now since they are so close to paradise. Wonder what other obstacles they are going to face in order to get to where they need to be. Only way to find out is to read the rest of the book.

 I spilt tea on the book. A sin to anyone who loves books as much as I do. Technically I didn't spill the tea on my book. The tea mainly fell into my backpack where the book was. So it ended up getting a little water damage. Still makes me extremely sad. And I am usually careful ever since I accidentally set a book on fire because I didn't know about the security chip. I'm a disaster when it comes to books. Anyways, my disasters aside, lets talk about the book. They are still traveling. But they rescued some people, got abandoned by what was remaining of the crew after one was thrown off the ship by an unknown force, then had no idea how they were going to eat. But our leading lady was smart and remembered seeing fish, so food was no longer a problem. But captivity is. Now they just have to figure out how to escape from being traded off as slaves. Sadly you won't find out through me. This is my last post on the book since I only have fifty pages left. I know it doesn't say that on goodreads, but its true. But if you want to know how the book end, I highly recommend getting the book and finding out yourself. Its a very enjoyable book. Not one of my favorites, but still pretty good. But I'm going to go finish the book. My next book that I'll be reading all depends whether or not I get all my books in at the library to pick up. If I don't, it will be a book that had a movie come out just recently for it, like a year or sooner. We will just have to see.
