Utterly captivating. A heroine unlike any Id met before, a setting Id never glimpsed, a story Id never imagined. Atlantia is fresh, wild, and engrossing. I love Ally Condie. Shannon Hale, award-winning, bestselling author of Austenland and Dangerous A New York Times Best Seller! Can you hear Atlantia breathing? For as long as she can remember, Rio has dreamed of the sand and sky Aboveof life beyond her underwater city of Atlantia. But in a single moment, all Rios hopes for the future are shattered when her twin sister, Bay, makes an unexpected choice, stranding Rio Below. Alone, ripped away from the last person who knew Rios true selfand the powerful siren voice she has long silencedshe has nothing left to lose. Guided by a dangerous and unlikely mentor, Rio formulates a plan that leads to increasingly treacherous questions about her mothers death, her own destiny, and the corrupted system constructed to govern the Divide between land and sea. Her life and her city depend on Rio to listen to the voices of the past and to speak long-hidden truths.

An entertaining, okay „audio-read“ that kept me interested enough to go on.

But I already doubted the starting position that tries to make an unfair situation tempting for the reader. This was so weak that I never got engaged with it. Additionally, I didn‘t really experience Riu‘s personal development. I was told about it but didn‘t feel it. A pity.

So if you take the marine aspect away, the plot and characters are all quite genre-average.

Littens, it‘s because of my demanding real life that you see so few of me here on Litsy.

I‘m having a hard time at my job (they made me cancel my approved vacation after less than 17 hours).

I am really suffering those last 2 weeks. My body aches. My brain never comes to rest. I slowly run empty.

But I like this YA novel. It‘s a bit different than the usual scheme. I don‘t love it. But I enjoy it. Which is worth so much at the moment.

I couldn‘t put the book down. Such a great story about love, duty, and sacrifice. Characters were fleshed out perfectly. I highly recommend reading it.

A bewitching read sweeping us into an oceanic tale of crashing cultures meant to cohere. Immersing world-building in water and on land. Underlying currents of choice, love, and power drive a gripping pace in intrigue. Artful twin portrayal (I say as a twin) 😊 Evolving characters effortlessly swirl tradition in discovery-driven plot. Rio sings us to a hopeful ending as compelling as her magnetic call. Definitely recommended--hear the city breathe!
