After reading the Handmaids Tale I wanted to read more Margarte Atwood. The premise of this book intrigued me.

This is a world that is post apocalyptic world after Genetic Enginerring companies have unleased a plague that destroys humanity.

This book has been described as a love story but I would not described as such. While our main character who goes by snowman does in fact have a love interest that is not really the point of the story as a whole.

Much of the book is backstory describing events that lead up to our main characters current place in the story so I found there was not alot of actual plot progression, but despite that the narrative was for me very compelling and a read that would just not let go leaving me anxious to get back to where I was in the story.

This book does contain trigger warnings for some highly controversial and senstive content relating to child sex slavery.
