When Amaya rescues a mysterious stranger from drowning, she fears her rash actions have earned her a longer sentence on the debtor ship where she’s been held captive for years. Silverfish’s will was to survive, to simply make it to the next day, and hopefully the day after that.

It was a word that consumed her, filled her entire being until she knew that she could no longer be Silverfish. It was a word of fire and blood, of a knife’s whisper and the priming of a pistol. It was a simple word when spoken out loud, but it was so much bigger, like the hidden city under the atoll. Readers that enjoy high-action and adventure in their fantasy books will enjoy this one!ī | Goodreads | Kindle | Amazon | Audible | Barnes & Noble | TBD| Kobo | iBooks This book references to child slavery and abuse, sexual assault, mention of suicide, cannibalism, parental death, child death, descriptive gore and bodily harm, and kid-napping. Overall, this was a fun book filled with adventure and I look forward to the second story! I hope to see more of that in book two as I really helps the reader to understand this story. I appreciated Tara Sim’s descriptive writing that helped to build the story out. It felt rushed at times and I would have liked the story to slow down just a bit so we could enjoy the moment. LGBTQ is well-represented here as well as people of color. The Characters represent a wide variety of our melting-pot society and I was so happy to see it. The main premise is revenge that is filled with difficult choices. There is mystery and murder and adventure. This book is a retelling of The Count of Monte Cristo, which I found interesting as that is a book I have not read yet. I felt that the second half of the book had less of this in it and it was one of my favorite things. I would have loved to have more of this added to the book. It was all so detailed and really made for a beautiful picture. The details in this book were so much fun! I loved the caves, reefs, and ship.
