In this book, scientists have created a new species, the Aquarians, which are human-dolphin hybrids living underwater.

Firstly, I have to disclaim that I was not able to finish this book. Not necessarily because it was bad, but because it was boring. I had to force myself to pick it up so I decided to just give up.

The characters were nothing out of the ordinary. The main character was some kind of freak underdog and the rest of the characters were exactly what you’d expect from a book like this one.

Even though there was always something going on, because I didn’t connect with the characters, I didn’t care much and wasn’t intrigued by the plot at all. It also moved too fast at times, and there were inconsistencies (or at least, the action wasn’t described clearly enough).

But the book wasn’t all bad. The world was interesting, the creatures and this re-imagined apocalypse intrigued me but, sadly, that was not enough to keep me reading.

I do think this was a good story and can see people enjoying it, but not me. I wasn’t enjoying myself at all.

This was not a good book. It wasn’t a bad book either, I simply didn’t feel like reading it.

From the reviews I’ve found, some say that this book isn’t particularly good because of the dialogue. I couldn’t agree more – the dialogue’s wonky at best, but it’s not just that. The whole writing is weird and the author definitely has trouble describing things (I only realized that the characters didn’t look like dolphins 20-ish % in).

The fact that things happen quickly is, for most books, a good thing, but it’s not for this one. When things are always happening to characters you don’t know (and hence don’t care about) everything becomes a big blob of something, and that’s exactly what happened in this book.

This book had potential and set up an interesting world – the way the author portrayed that world wasn’t.
