In a freezing world, where everyone knows the day they will die, three teens break all odds. 

Franny Bluecastle, a tough city teen, dreams of dying in opulence, to see wealth she’s never known. Like the entire world, she believes it’s impossible to dodge a deathday. 

Until the day she does. 

Court Icecastle knows wealth. He also knows pain. Spending five years in Vorkter Prison, a fortress of ice and suffering, he dreams of life beyond the people that haunt him and the world that imprisoned him. 

Mykal Kickfall fights for those he loves. The rugged Hinterlander shares a frustrating yet unbreakable connection with Court—which only grows more lawless and chaotic as their senses and emotions connect with Franny. 

With the threat of people learning they’ve dodged their deathdays, they must flee their planet to survive. But to do so, all three will have to hide their shared bond as they vie for a highly sought after spot in the newest mission to space. Against thousands of people far smarter, who’ll live longer, and never fear death the way that they do.

I really enjoyed this book and it’s unique concept. Every person has a Death Day, which is the exact day that they will die. But the three main characters managed to dodge theirs with no understanding of why, until the very end of the story. 

The end was a really interesting twist that I didn’t see coming. At first I thought the world building was not that great because we don’t learn a lot about this world and the various planets that these people are on. But the end basically provided an answer as to what we will learn in the next book. 

The best thing about the story was Mykal, Court, and Franny’s bond with each other. I totally thought a love triangle was going to happen but then it didn’t and I was so happy! Franny was just content to be friends with the two boys and it made it so much more enjoyable. 

I am eagerly looking forward to the next chapter of this story!
