Thanks for the eARC, Tor and Netgalley!

A creepy little thrill ride on a big ol cryo zoo. Sort of.
I've liked both SA Barnes' books, but they all suffer from Too Much Story. There's a lot of lines that, in Cold Eternity, crossed over for a big finale. But it was still too much story, too many lines. And the sort of paranormal aspect, the creep factor, always has some sort of speculative “real world” explanation, which may work for a lot of people, just not me.

Still creepy though. Like, really creepy. And Katerina's ability to write off the abnormal in favor of believing the most “logical” explanation makes it even creepier at times.
