"Steal-your-breath adventure meets a uniquely forlorn futuristic world and a cast of characters so memorable you just might find yourself speaking with a sailor's brogue. Add in the most clever nods to Treasure Island, and this is the retelling I didn't know I was craving!" - Marissa Meyer, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Lunar Chronicles "A high-stakes, deep-diving adventure with twists that will keep you turning the pages to the very last! This retelling charts a course into new, exciting waters." - Natalie C. Parker, award-winning author of the Seafire series "This futuristic adventure features nonstop thrills and action and an unpredictable, compelling, twist-filled plot. A riveting fantasy adventure debut that pulls readers into the deep" - Kirkus Reviews (starred review) "Into the Sunken City is the definition of swashbuckling--a gripping underwater adventure set in a fantastically full-bodied world of storms, sea, and cephalopods. Sisters Jin and Thara are the heart of this story, and their relationship--in Jin's words--makes the whole spirit glow." - Nina Varela, author of Crier's War "This debut has a unique and original underwater dystopia, a treasure hunt, a second-chance romance, and a twisty heist with shifting alliances and complicated relationships." - Booklist "The cinematic story line, electric prose, and creative and lived-in worldbuilding make Thiru's debut a thrilling adventure on the high seas, a striking portrayal of trauma and hope in dystopian times, and a thoroughly compelling read.
" - Publishers Weekly (starred review) "Paints a harrowing but beautiful picture of a rain-soaked apocalyptic world. Charming characters and multilayered mysteries will keep readers hooked from beginning to end in this well-developed eco-thriller with a lot of heart." - BookPage (starred review) "The fresh premise, immersive, waterlogged atmosphere, and cinematic action of this dystopian riff on Treasure Island combine for an unforgettable read perfect for fans of Leigh Bardugo's Six of Crows or Adrienne Young's Fable. Worldbuilding is vivid and detailed, while leaving tantalizing questions on the table for an anticipated sequel. Addictively pulse-pounding deep-sea future fiction, this is highly recommended." - School Library Journal (starred review).
