3.0

This novella has such a cool premise.  The oceans have risen and almost all of the world is underwater.  Our FMC has spent her whole life on a ship, only occasionally stopping at the few remaining islands for supplies and trading.  This book is a quick read at 174 pages and tries to pack a lot into those pages.  The story engages with some great twists along the way, but I felt it was quite rushed and would have benefitted from flushing out the story and characters a bit more.  I'm interested to see where the story goes in future books and how the author grows and develops past their debut novel.
