Amazing book about life and death. In a future world where the Great Wave wiped out most of he Earth and sunk civilization to the bottom of the ocean, there are entire civilizations of people trying to survive on the surface on different islands. With a lack of resources it take a strong will to survive.
Two years ago, Tempe lost her sister Elysea, and is saving Notes (money) to bring her sister back from he dead for 24 hours to ask her questions about their dead parents. About how they died and to get closure. Elysea cannot know she is dead.
The chapters switch between the life of Tempe and the life of Lor, a boy who lives in the deep dark basement of Pilandromenia. The place where for 24 hours, the dead can be brought back to life. When these two lives connect it makes for an incredible read.
A great story of the combination of both lives and wonderful character development. I flew through this book and stayed interested in the book the entire way through. I really loved this story and believe it should be made into a movie. I can't wait to read more novels by Astrid.
I was given an ARC version of this book for my unbiased opinion. I read all of my ARCS and am grateful for the chance to read upcoming books.
