Description:
Praise for Relic "Heather Terrell excavates a richly realized and adventurous world from the iced-over wreck of our own." --William Alexander, New York Times bestseller and 2012 National Book Award winner "Fans of The Hunger Games will devour this book." -- School Library Journal "With threads taken from The Hunger Games , The Giver , and other dystopian novels, Terrell spins her own story, which has plenty of adventure, some unanswered questions, and a dash of romance... The way relics--iPhones, guns, even makeup--affect the story adds an ironic touch." -- Booklist "Adult author Terrell, in her books for teens, weaves fresh complexity... with smart, thoughtful, and resourceful heroines." -- Publishers Weekly "Part post-apocalyptic fiction and part high fantasy, Relic is the beginning of a trilogy that is written artfully and with a voice you will not soon forget. Delicately weaving in elements of Inuit culture as well as elements you might find in Game of Thrones , Heather Terrell creates a world that is as intricate as it is icy. The intrigue and mystery make it a page-turner, and the rich and complex characters make it hard to forget. I cannot wait for the sequel!" --E. Kristen Anderson, Editor of Dear Teen Me "Technology is a fragile thing and another Dark Age could be closer than you think.... the world built in Relic is unique and has a rich allegorical quality." --Pittsburgh Post Gazette "A suspenseful novel that's as smart and well written as it is inventive, original, and surprising." --M. J. Rose, author of The Reincarnationist series "A dystopia set in a post-global-warming future: plucky heroine, lying leaders, ridiculous endurance tests and, yes, two hot guys." --Kirkus Reviews "Even when Eva knows that what she's doing might come with unforeseen, negative consequences, she cannot ignore her need to know the truth. I love her for that." -- Kirkus Book Report by Mandy Curtis of Forever Young Adult "I already can't wait for the second book of the RELIC series to come out. Eva is a strong female character and a great role model for teen girls. This is also a great book for both teens and parents to read." --Jennifer Wagner, Connect with your Teens through Pop Culture and Technology "An exciting tale of self-discovery and one of great societal commentary.... Deft world-building creates a believable society in an icy clime with a strong and well-rounded main character. Eva's choices for the future will leave readers anxious to see her tale continue in the next installment... a fresh new perspective in the dystopian field." --VOYA "A remarkable story.... highly recommended." --Mysterious Reviews From the Hardcover edition.
