The Deep by Rivers Solomon
3.0
This is a short but powerful story about survival, belonging, and the importance of remembering your history even if it’s painful. I found the whole premise to be very unique and was thrill to find that it had LGBTQIA+ rep.
However, I read this as an audiobook, which I believe is not the best format for this. The plot jumps a bit towards the middle, and I found myself confused a lot. Even though it is a novella, I found the pacing to be a bit slow. This, along with the writing style, leads to the plot dragging in some areas. So, I had a bit of a hard time focusing.
