What I liked: Thiru's world-building is vivid and detailed that you feel like you're in this rain-soaked world, where all the world's treasures are thousands of feet below the water level and are yours for the taking if you're brave enough to face what dwells below. Jin and her sister are barely surviving in the world they are living in since their dad was killed in a diving accident and left them to run the inn by themselves. At times Jin is crippled by the thought of diving to have a chance to catch a treasure, for what if she ends up like her dad and leaves her sister all to herself. Jin struggles with trust at times, and that makes for poor choices. That ending leaves me believing we will get more from the fantastic debut author.
Final Verdict: A clever plot, fast pace, and brave and sometimes untrustworthy characters that allow you to escape into this drowned world to achieve the dream of seeing the sun, but at what cost?
