I actually liked this!! I feel like there was not as much world building in the beginning as I needed; there was a lot of character backstory. Which is fine! But a lot of the world building happened along the way. It had me continually being like “huh, I never would’ve thought of that” so it was kind of cool. The cover of this book is freaking stunning. I listened to it on audiobook and really preferred that.

This book is set in a world where the entire place is flooded. I guess drowning/oceans/etc could be a content warning for some.
