What if you were snatched from the world you knew and loved? What if you were forced to breathe air instead of familiar seawater? What if there was a chance you would live with your brutal captors forever?
This is the reality for Nica, daughter of a prominent Guardian of the Olomi, a race of sea-living humanoids. With emotions and complex speech like humans, they live their entire lives underwater. That is, until The Breaking when their world comes crashing down. Nica, and many others, are kidnapped from the sea and forced into slavery on dry land. Their captors are harsh experts at manipulation. When every Olomi is set against each other, how can Nica hope to unite them and find freedom?
If you like unique reads about other worlds, this book is for you! This book was unlike any other I have read and surprised me with its experimental twist. The story, though brutal and heart-wrenching, keeps hope and fellowship at its center. It reminds us that even though the world may seem hopeless, there is still light ahead.
Though this book dealt with some adult themes like *spoiler* forced pregnancy by artificial insemination, it remained a clean read. Here is the score sheet.
Scoresheet:
Spice/Romance: Low. Mild kiss(s) no making out.
Violence: Mild. No gore but mentions blood and wounds often. *Spoiler* There is an electrocution that does not end in death.
Morals/Worldview: Christian/good morals
Recommended reading age: 17+
