Voice of the Ocean
by Kelsey Impicciche
Honestly… this book had so much potential and just fell a tad flat for me. The biggest issue was Celeste’s characterization with a little bit of a pacing issue.
When we first meet Celeste, the way she acts scream 13 not 17 years old. Towards the end, she does act much more like you would expect a 17 year old to… but it was spoiled by the early characterization. Her motivations were also just… confusing. She gets in trouble for saving humans so agrees to kill the human she saved. But every time she has a chance to kill him, she saves him, then berates herself for being weak. There just wasn’t enough consistency with her actions.
The initial plot was a little slow. the first part of the story when they were first on the ship. The ending was wildly action packed.
