The beginning was mediocre but not horrible. The rising action was, admittedly, slow and slightly uninteresting. I would sympathize a little with someone who had a physical copy or an ebook, but "reading" this one through an audiobook wasn't difficult. Then came the part when Overall, the first half of the story reminded me a little of Kiera Cass's [b:The Siren|6618272|The Siren|Kiera Cass|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1348131642l/6618272._SY75_.jpg|6812394] and Sara Ella's [b:Coral|42772077|Coral|Sara Ella|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1542145415l/42772077._SY75_.jpg|66460469], with the romance being more subdued like Coral was. Atlantia as a whole reminded me strongly of Jennifer A. Nielsen's [b:The Scourge|28669595|The Scourge|Jennifer A. Nielsen|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1455173211l/28669595._SY75_.jpg|48858923], with there being many parallels between the two. If you are a fan of the dystopia of [b:The Hunger Games|2767052|The Hunger Games (The Hunger Games, #1)|Suzanne Collins|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1586722975l/2767052._SY75_.jpg|2792775] or the mystery and plot of [b:The Scourge|28669595|The Scourge|Jennifer A. Nielsen|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1455173211l/28669595._SY75_.jpg|48858923], Atlantia might be worth a try. A great world-building, character driven read for teens who enjoy strong female protagonists who grapple with relationships and making sense of their culture's religious/political landscape. Atlantia, an underwater world is the "Under" in this version of Earth. "Above" are those who continue to live in the polluted, and struggling planet. Rio and her sister Bay lived with their priestess mother, the late Minister, in the below, devoting themselves to temple work, helping their mother, and preparing to live a life forever below OR choosing to go above. When the choosing ceremony occurs, Rio is stunned when Bay chooses to leave her behind -even though their mother recently died- and go Above without her. the book takes off from there as Rio struggles with the loss of her sister, as well as her mother, struggles to contain her "siren" voice (now seen as dangerous or forbidden) & find out the truth about her mother's death, her mysterious aunt Maire's disappearance, and what her role should be to best serve Atlantia. True Beck, a thoughtful, handsome boy reaches out to her, and together they begin to uncover more secrets than they realized about the Council, the new lead Minister Nevio, and what they may be able to do to help save their crumbling Atlantia. Gets pretty complicated & the ending is even more convoluted but Rio emerges triumphant if changed. keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen
