Thanks to LibraryThing for the complimentary advance review copy of When the World Grows Cold.
Ginna's fatherless daughter Annemarie drifts from singing in church to less salubrious venues like bars, and falls in with a bad crowd. Then Celestia appears from the future. It seems there's a very strange relationship between the two girls, one that will lead Ginna and Annemarie into a future that turns their dreams into their destiny.
This fourth volume in Erler's Peaks Saga reads like the love child of Narnia's allegory and Dr. Who's spatiotemporal adventure, with a delightfully original concept, from the earlier books, of the mechanism of time travel and its consequences. It's very much distopian, with hunters both biological and human pursuing rebels against the world order.
And the rebels, at least the ones we see, are Christians who believe they're enduring the tribulation described in the apocalyptic passages of the Bible.
Somehow, though. it all comes together into a very readable book. The pace could be faster, and there could be more suspense, but it's still a fun read and I recommend it for readers of postapocalyptic fiction.
