Synopsis:

On an uncharted world, happiness is effortless and constant … but can true joy exist without sacrifice?

The people of Meriel have long believed their island world floats alone in the vast ocean universe, so they are astonished when another island drifts into view. With resources becoming scarce, Carya and Brantley quickly volunteer to search the new land for supplies.

After navigating a barrier of menacing trees, the pair encounter a culture of perpetually happy people who readily share their talents and their possessions. But all is not what it seems. At the core of the island is a horror that threatens everyone, including Brantley and Carya.

Freeing the villagers of the bondage they’ve chosen may cost Carya and Brantley more than they could have imagined. Even if the two succeed, they’ll have to find a way to return to Meriel quickly … or be cut off from their home forever.

My Rating:

Such a phenomenal follow-up to Hidden Current! I had such a fun time reading this. The world-building is excellent. The character development shows through. The drama and action keep you hooked and sitting on the edge of your seat. The atmosphere is well written with a creepy vibe to it, which is perfect for an October read. The romance was well done! I didn't think it was overdone and it didn't overpower the story for me. The pacing of this was excellent as well.

I think this is a fun Christian fantasy YA read and I would definitely recommend it.
