Atlantia - Ally Condie
I was expecting a mermaid-ish book and I did not get that.
Instead I was taken deep beneath the waves to the bottom of the ocean and humans dwelling there in dome like structures. The story is told through one girls eyes - Rio, who is a siren. What does that mean? Well you are just going to have to read the book to find out.
I liked how different this book was from the other books I've been reading in this genre. I liked the world Ally crerated - intricate in detail and how she only gives you tidbits. I feel like the story is left untold though by the time I finished reading it. Like whole pieces to a puzzle showing the world. She only answered the immediate questions of the story line and some tidbits of the broader scope. Like the boarder pieces in a puzzle and a huge chunk in the middle but other things in between are missing.
It was a mediocre book for me, like it *should* have been a trilogy and not just a standalone novel. I didn't hate it but I feel like in a month from now I will have forgotten it.
There are many other books I would recommend before this one.
