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.
