I read this book because it was a July Indie Next pick and GMA’s book club pick. I listened to the audiobook via Libby and was surprised by the English-accented narration by actress Lucy Boynton (though in retrospect I shouldn’t because of the author’s Irish origin). This book definitely felt like Survivor with more coupling and more cutthroat consequences. I couldn’t look away from the competition of it all and my interest was maintained up until the couple switching. The book had a bit of a lull but finished with what seemed to be an explosion of the seven deadly sins. This was an interesting book that would be good to discuss but also one I’m unlikely to reread.

Full of adventure and interesting characters.

A young pregnant woman finds her way walking home after Portland experiences "the big one". There is a dual time line. While she is making her way, she is mentally reviewing her life choice. Interesting book. Will definitely make you thing about your own preparedness. Kudos to the author for resisting the urge to tie up all the loose ends at the end of the book. (Tho, I wouldn't have minded if she did.)

This is a very great book with suspense, drama, and overall the book that is very good. Thank you for making this an OBOB book

edge of my seat even though this is my third time through the series. Aelin is absolutely iconic

Great book, took a long time to read, descriptive dialogue. For more matured readers.??????

This was a silly book. I liked when they fell into the water ??

While I did love The House in the Cerulean Sea a tad more, this book did not disappoint. TJ Klune has a way with words and the imagery created is magic. I so loved all the children and their unique outlook of the world. The story was uplifting, funny, charming, and full of hope.

This book is a sequel to Circus Mirandus by Cassie Beasley.
