Reception

Dave Langford reviewed The Frozen City for White Dwarf #62, and stated that "Not particularly new or astonishing in itself, this gains freshness and force from the allegorical presentation. A modest success. Fantasy's so hidebound that it's still a novelty for authors to suggest that even a benign dictatorship, or monarchy, may not be a good thing."[1]

gollark: I mean, it's not like they can just import everything they need to survive if they can't do any significant industry or exports.
gollark: Have you tried converting incoming ~400-700nm electromagnetic radiation into electrical signals, then transmitting those electrochemically to your visual cortex?
gollark: I don't see how that supports the moon removal plan?
gollark: If you mock earthbound politicians enough, they'll fund space exploration more out of spite.
