"They touched the Sigue cost at dusk, just as the ice was creaking. Standing on the slippery top deck as the massive ice-drilling submarine churned toward shore, Sorykah Minuit inhaled, taking the cold ocean air deep into her lungs. It felt so good to be outside after weeks below sea, working cheek by jowl with sixty filthy, sweat-stained miners and their collective, tactile reek." -Ice Song by Kirsten Imani Kasai
Well, the fresh air does sound good after that! What about you guys? Happy reading!!
OMG, I want to stick my head out of the window and inhale fresh air after reading those first lines!
ReplyDeleteHappy Reading, Louisa!
I know! The book is really lyrical in the writing, which slowed down the reading! But great story! :)
