The Snow Queen (the other one)

 I asked this on Facebook already, but who’s read Joan D. Vinge’s ‘The Snow Queen’?  It’s a big juicy sci-fi novel based on the fairytale, and it’s pretty splendid.  I can’t think of a way to summarize it quickly, so you’re just going to have to be a leetle bit mystified by this drawing, I’m afraid.  Sorry.
