“ ‘We’re at sea. There is no ground to stand on.’ ”


i loved this so much. just like the first book, it was enjoyable and full of humour and tenderness in every page, but not without conflicts and high stakes. it was rewarding to know more about both rose and miranda, their issues with one another and developments together. my expectations of getting an explanation regarding rose's uncanny abilities in navigation and heritage were met in this book, and i can't wait to dive deeper in this series' unrelenting waters. 

speaking of waters, burke's concept of a world where deep ocean is safer than the surface brimming with harmful chemicals, where land and once great cities are drowned beneath seas, and where seafaring, underwater mining, and piracy are the only ways of living because of the earth's condition, were both gripping and horrifying to read about—because it is possible. a hundred years or so, i can see it with how our earth is regressing today. this book honestly gave me a phobia of jellyfishes and squids just 30 pages in—that much pages and i was also screaming and crying and shitting my pants. anyway, i grew to love and care for the crew more, and i wish to see them still alive in the next installment.
