The Snow Queen moves the well-known Hans Christian Andersen fairy tale into a complicated science fiction setting. With the combination of the two genres, there is also an interesting merging of atmospheres in the societies of Tiamat. The story follows half a dozen viewpoint characters and many more interesting minor characters, in a world that seems large and clearly imagined. For me, the stories of the more minor viewpoint characters sometimes outshone the central story of Sparks, Moon and the Snow Queen. While I sometimes felt it was a little too loyal to the original fairy tale in terms of events and characterization, there was still plenty to enjoy in the many subplots and characters.
