I just have to say thank you to Orbit Books for an early access copy.
This book tackled the continuation of tough subjects in such a thought provoking and engaging way. We again follow Mira, Nami and Cordelia in the sequel to fathomfolk as they try to solve the problems that crop up at the end of the last book. This time Mira is having to deal with grief while leading in her position and nami is now having to realize that despite the fact that she might not be as perfect as her brother Kai she has her own strengths and can handle her own. She gets tasked with essentially trying to save the city by Mira and takes a team of people who she thinks will be able to help her. All the while she is dealing with the same prejudice that we were seeing in the city. Throughout the story we are shown the different struggles of the city and how the characters are navigating it and how they handle the prejudice that had never really gone away and only got worse. The story is moving and really enthralls you in the world that was created. The parallels to our own world are so poignant and well done. Overall the book was a great read.
