5.0 out of 5 stars and author Cathrina Constantine does not disappoint. Essentially banished from the safety of Tallas
Reviewed in Canada on November 13, 2015
SNOW ON CINDERS is a mind-blowing experience. Having read quite a few science fiction novels, I'd have to say this one is uniquely original. My anticipation was high after reading TALLAS, and author Cathrina Constantine does not disappoint.

Essentially banished from the safety of Tallas, Fulvio McTullan leads his band of non-conformists in search of a new settlement and a new life far away from Tallas. Though utopian in many aspects, the city of Tallas is ruled by the autocratic Elites. Their oppressive government invokes images of the classic silent film Metropolis. Fantastic creatures abound as do hazards of earth and nature as they journey across this unforgiving wilderness. Family dynamics come into play, as does an intriguing back story. Just as they find nirvana, the plot takes a twist and the action ratchets up high.

A hugely imaginative plot, unique one-of-a-kind characters, and vivid descriptions of a Dystopian world bring new life to each page of this book. It’s the kind of novel that would make George Orwell smile. In the realm of science fiction, I’d rank it right up there near the top.

5.0 out of 5 stars Hazard is always near, at every angle and turn.

Fraught with mishaps, Fulvio finally locates the perfect place to settle. They begin to rebuild until they receive a call. A call which will lure them back into the clutches of Tallas. Fulvio McTullan guides his family as well as a group of nonconformists to a different settlement, distant from Tallas and its wicked Elites. They encounter bizarre beings on their trip through unexplored lands where outlandish creatures prowl. The altered earth with its creatures fight to exist.

Snow on Cinders is full of adventure. The author, Cathrina Constantine will guide you into unknown terrain. With the municipalities destroyed and administration tainted, survival is the only thing left to do.

This tale's emphasis is on a forthcoming where the habitation is devastated. The ones left alive, survive under the law of Mediators, who control by means of ferocity and terrorizations. The people will attempt to arrange a life distant from Tallas. Nevertheless, hazard is always near, at every angle and turn.

All said, this story has a fascinating plot and great pacing. Loved this read and the depth of the characters. Well done!

4.0 out of 5 stars A world that pulls in
Reviewed in the United States on December 14, 2015

It was the cover that caught my attention on this one. Beautiful. And then, I'll admit that I didn't read the first book in the series. Which was quite a shame because I think it would have made several things a little clearer and helped me fall into the story earlier on.

Since I didn't know the political or character background, I did find the first few chapters a little confusing. Fulvio is trying to ground a colony or town away from the reaches of the government. The cities as we know them have been pretty much destroyed, leaving civilization centered under the government's protection and control.

Unlike many dystopian novels, this one didn't seem to concentrate on the evils of the government as much as the characters trying to survive. Here, book one would have also come in handy since I wasn't quite sure what was so evil about the government, only that it was evil and maybe responsible partially for the mutants.

There are a large number of characters in this book, each group's experiences and adventures changing with the chapters. There are dangers at every turn, although many of them had to do with surviving the world beyond the 'protective' reaches of the government. This raw desire to live is tangible on every page, making it easy to get lost in this world.

Even with the troubles I had in the first chapters, it was easy to get lost in the characters and plot. Guess I'll be hitting book one now, since I'm sure this one will be even more enjoyable. . .and it already is an interesting read on it's own.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good characters and twisting events you don't see coming!

First let me say this author is verbose. I found myself skipping over whole paragraphs because of the long winded descriptions of events, locations and people when two words would have sufficed you'd get twenty.
The characters and the villains were relatable and kept my interest. The bear and the horse became quick favorites .
This was a decent read but a great one,ah no.

5.0 out of 5 stars Inspiring characters in this YA dystopian
Reviewed in the United States on November 2, 2015

In this sequel to the YA Dystopian, TALLAS, Fulvio McTullan is preparing to settle a new town with his family and several mutant survivors. It's a dangerous world, and even the journey to the new settlement is dangerous. Fulvio believes they cannot make a proper start without supplies from Tallas, a town ruled by the cruel Elite, Pomfrey Addler. Pomfrey is determined to let no mutant survive and loathes Fulvio for helping them. Will Fulvio escape the clutches of the ruthless Elite or will he swing from the gallows?

This book is just as wonderful as the first. You will need to read TALLAS to understand what's going on this one because there is a big cast of characters and plenty of backstory and politics. I love how they're all woven together into one big colorful tapestry. It's fast-paced and a lot of fun.

Fulvio is a fascinating and inspiration character. Many times, I was on the edge of my seat when reading one of his scenes. He also inspires minor characters to do brave things and this makes me like him all the more. Smelt and Gus was my next favorites, and even the non-human characters, Tibbles and Zennith had me rooting for them.

Highly recommended!
