My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Forty years after an apocalyptic war, the decedents of the passengers
of Arcadia are still on the ship. Some
have a plan to get off the ship and onto the mainland, but many know that they
are stuck until their last breath because the residents of Arcadia are not
allowed to leave. Esther is working hard
to better herself, but life is not fair and many obstacles are in her way. Nik wants to liberate the Arcadia and is
willing to do anything to break free.
When these two lives cross, the lives of everyone around them are also
changed.
The Stranded is the first book in the Stranded series and it isn’t really in one genre. I would almost say it is a sci-fi adventure, but that doesn’t do it justice either. The entire time I was reading this book I was thinking about how I would react … how would I behave … what would I do to survive? This is a series, so there isn’t a clean ending, but readers are not left with a cliffhanger. I will definitely be looking for book number two next summer.
