I would like to thank the author for providing me a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
When I first heard of this book I was very thrilled to read it, but I didn't know that it was this captivating and good! The main character is tough and strong, though she thinks she is weak I'd see from the very first chapter that she was one of those strong female heroine. Even if she has feelings for Tiam, she knows how to survive by herself and how to keep doing things because she wants to and not because she's so blind for love. Tiam too, is a character that I really enjoyed reading. At first I thought he was the "bad guy" but I immediately changed my mind after a few chapters. The only person that I couldn't stand from the start was Star, mostly because she kept being naive and living in her own world, but I figured it's not her fault.
The concept of this book I just great. I love dystopian stories, and this one was no exception. The idea of the world drowning, and a whole population living in a tiny island scares me, but also make me think that this could actually happen in the future. I'm really happy with this book, I had high expectations and I ended it grateful that it was even better that I thought.
Can't wait to read the second book, because the ending of this one just left me speechless!
