This isn't some great piece of literature, fairly predictable most times but it's enjoyable enough. Sometimes, one just wants to read a love story set in a post-pocalyptic wasteland, seasoned with smalltown mindsets and government conspiracies and also dragons.

Unfortunately, this book was a disappointment for me. The plot seemed to exist merely to develop the relationship between the two main characters, which is fine for some stories, but in a world this rich with possibility, I wanted more. The concept is very compelling - some kind of apocolyptic event has ushered in a new ice age, and America is struggling to change and adapt to the new circumstances. Add the mystery of dragons into it and you have the ingredients for a truly interesting adventure. I wanted more than what the author gave me.
