About the Book:
Book 1 in an action-packed dystopian adventure series set in the near-future post-melt Arctic.
The last ice cap has melted, and the world is on the brink of collapse. A deadly force—Terra Electrica—has been unleashed. It feeds on electricity. It is infecting civilization.
In this chaotic, rapidly changing reality, 12-year-old Mani has lost her family and community to the Terra Electrica. Armed only with some ancestral wisdom and a powerful, ancient wooden mask she was never meant to inherit so soon, she suddenly finds herself responsible for the fate of the world.
Can Mani piece everything together and harness her newfound powers in time to save humanity?

With a degree in Modern Languages and a long-standing career as a book editor, she has a lifelong curiosity for language and words, and a growing fascination in the power of story – the way it shapes our lives and frames our experience.
For me I have yet to find a dystopian novel which I enjoy and I am afraid that even though the atmosphere was top tier in Terra Electrica The Guardians of the North it fell short in the characters. Mani was not a strong character to undertake such a journey and the side characters were a bit 2D apart from Tilde who really got my attention and wished that she actually was the first person Mani saw instead of Leo then the story really would of taken off.
I also liked the idea of the other world but wish it had been executed better as it took me a while to catch on.
For the above reasons Terra Electrica The Guardians of the North receives 3 stars
