A powerful novel for fans of The Hunger Games and The Scorpio Races. Koral must overcome familial criticism, cutthroat sea creatures, and a caste system that seeks to obliterate her. There’s a delightful friends to enemies to maybe more (with a knife to the throat scene), but romance never takes over the story, which I greatly appreciated. The writing is punchy and alive, and the peril kept me glued to the page!
