I’m a sucker for science fiction novels set on ice worlds, and that’s even before you add some of my other favourite tropes: robots, biotech, giant ice monsters, AI, and families gone horribly wrong.

Happily, for a story supposed to be a tribute to something much older, I found it fresh, original, masterfully written, and extremely satisfying. Who do we owe our loyalty to, our blood relations or our moral convictions, anyway?
