I also won Scholte's first book, [book:Four Dead Queens|40367270], from BookishFirst.com! I enjoyed that one and also enjoyed this one! Scholte is quickly cementing herself into the fantasy genre. This book was very unique. It gave me Waterworld and The Little Mermaid vibes. I thought the technology she created where someone can bring back a dead person for 24 hours was really interesting. The world-building was so cool! I could easily visualize the depths Tempe scavenged in, the metal floating islands created to sustain people, and the terrifying, mysterious island of Palindromena where the dead come back to life. I did not know how to pronounce Elysea's name and I'm not a fan of that. Because my brain stumbles over it at every mention. But I really liked this book and I look forward toe Scholte's next one! Keep 'em coming!
