An Apple Most Anticipated Book of Spring 2020
“An immersive, fast-paced story about survival, grief, guilt, and second chances.” —School Library Journal
“Tensions [are kept] high as the characters explore a detailed, inventive, lovingly crafted world . . . the narrative’s sea legs come through deep, resonant characterizations and the characters’ intense emotional inner lives. A seaworthy stand-alone.” —Kirkus Reviews
“[In] this fast-paced ecological thriller . . . Scholte builds palpable suspense through Lor and Tempe’s alternating narratives while offering timely commentary on sustainability and responsible stewardship of land and sea.” —Publishers Weekly
“Scholte’s intricate world building stands out from the usual run of post-apocalyptic novels, with a particular emphasis on the effects of a world steeped in overconsumption and an eco-apocalypse. . .
