Jelly by Clare Rees
2.0

The concept of a community of survivors living on a giant jellyfish sounded good at first. Although their daily life seems strange. It seemed they had lived there a couple of years or so as the children on there who seemed 15 or 16 did not remember much of life before.
What happened was not really revealed, a bit too glazed over.
However, the jellyfish keeps them on there, they cannot leave, until they start having ideas after seeing a bunch of humans killing the kriks, crustacean type beings that have been hunting humans down on land.
They get to land then fight off some kriks, then the four children decide to go back and kill the jellyfish before seeking shelter they know is safe inland.
It's a strange read. I didn't connect with any of the characters and felt it was a meld of stories I had read before like the last ones left alive, but the zombies are crab beings, and Rain.
I'm assuming they went off and found the rest of the community but they didn't really seem to care much. Not did I really.
