This second of the duo wasn‘t as action packed as the first, but more sinister. Much more. We found out what the government was willing to do in order to keep the public fearful. Just because they‘re different. “We‘re like you, just add something.” Yeah it‘s a bit sow of a book, yet it worked in the stories favor.

I love reading these author notes. Yeah, Leyla is a little oc but who cares? This is an amazing series about an underwater world I‘ve never read before. London Shah didn‘t see her represented so she wrote herself a story. This is what I love hearing. Write that story.

And that is what this duology is about. How the fear of the people - by the government incensing the media - into only talking violence and revenge.

I am posting one book per day from my to-be-read collection. No description and providing no reason for wanting to read it, I just do. Some will be old, some will be new - don‘t judge me I have a lot of books.
Join the fun if you want. This is day 146.
