Thanks to the publisher for the ARC I got in a goodreads giveaway。I enjoy stories of polar exploration which， let's face it， are disaster stories more often than not。 However， I guess they can't all be Shackletons。 Right out of the gate， Piesing quotes a YA fantasy novel （admittedly， a very popular one） to describe Svalbard。 This does not bode well。tbc。。。 Thanks to the publisher for the ARC I got in a goodreads giveaway。I enjoy stories of polar exploration which， let's face it， are disaster stories more often than not。 However， I guess they can't all be Shackletons。 Right out of the gate， Piesing quotes a YA fantasy novel （admittedly， a very popular one） to describe Svalbard。 This does not bode well。tbc。。。 。。。more
