A definite must read!
Astrid Scholte paints the story of a beautifully haunting world in The Vanishing Deep. I found myself flying through chapters simply because I was so intrigued by the story and just had to know what happened next.
Tempe has hardened her heart after the loss of her parents and older sister, Elysea. She's self-sufficient and determined. Elysea confesses a secret to Tempe after her revival and Tempe makes a rash decision to flee Palindromena with her sister; creating the setting for a whirlwind adventure for the two sisters! Lor has his own secrets that are given away as you progress through the story providing more intrigue and mystery...and there is just a touch of romance between him and Tempest that I found quite charming.
This novel is creepy, twisty, and amazingly structured. I could imagine the story so clearly, making it that much easier to immerse myself into the dystopian world. "The Equinox is close to many sunken cities and if you look down upon the ruins below and let your eyes blur, the ocean looks like the night sky, and the coral its stars."
I received an advanced copy in exchange for an honest review and, I enjoyed it so much I purchased a finished copy!
