Polar ice caps melt

This is an excellent book about climate change told over a few years. To start, the polar ice caps in the Arctic Ocean melt completely. They come back the next year but are smaller and this just continues in this pattern.

This book, told as fiction, shows the reader the dire consequences of this happening and the effects on weather patterns around the world.

I almost stopped reading this book at the very beginning - because the author stuck in some really annoying narrator voices. Actual example below:

"While we’re waiting for something to happen, let’s get her backstory out of the way."

This does happen more than once and it's jarring each time but the rest of the book is good enough to (mostly) overlook these intrusions into the flow of the story.

There is science in this book, a lot of meteorology - climate and weather - but these were interesting to me. There are also a few different fleshed out characters in the story.

The book supposedly takes place in the near future. The author did a wonderful job with world building and development of characters and most of the dire scenarios in the book sound all too possible.

I didn't realize until I reached the end of the book that it's the first in a series but at least this book didn't end in a terrible cliffhanger.

I highly recommend this book to people who enjoy climate thrillers, science fiction, or post apocalyptic tales.

I received this book from Secant Publishing through Net Galley in the hopes that I would read it and leave an unbiased review.
