The Vanish Deep is set in a world where everyone now lives on the water and very little real land is available for use. What is available for use is controlled by a company that has made it possible for you to revive your loved one for 24 hours to see them again.
We get to see this world from multiple different points-of-view, but our main character is Tempe who is now an orphan and is trying to get her sister back for the 24 hours to know what happened to there parents.
We also get to see things from Lor and Ray's point-of-view and their view of things is just as interesting and I loved seeing how they saw things happening.
Tempe is a character I loved she was truly willing to do anything to protect her sister and get answers to her questions.
Elsyea, Tempe's sister is a character I found myself getting frustrated with at times, because of how she was handling everything. But at the same time, she has a short amount of time left and wants to do a few things she used to love as well as getting Tempe her answers.
Lor was a character I unexpectedly started liking after a while, he truly did care, he had just been misled for so long and had gotten closed off because of it.
Ray was a character I wished we had gotten to spend more time with and see what his life was like after everything had happened in this book. His part of the story was small but showed how the things that were happening on this floating island connected to the mainland affected everyone and how people had very few choices for jobs.
The main focus though is Tempe and her sister and them finding out what happened and why all before time runs out.
Overall I loved this book! I loved the world and the world-building, and the way that family was the main focus of the book was nice as well. Learning the history of Palindrome while everything was happening helped the story keep a breakneck speed.
So many unexpected things happened throughout this book and made me love it even more. I can't say too much more without giving it away, because of how everything goes together to get Tempe's answers.
The ending of this book killed me and made me happy at the same time.
I highly recommend this book and I can't wait to go back and read the other's first book.
