Fic Rec: "Unspoken: The Lyndburn Legacy" by Sarah Rees Brennan (original)
Have you all read this? Am I the only one who didn't even know about it until, I think, blamebrampton referenced it recently??
I just finished it, and recommend it highly. I loved it. The only caveat - - if you would rather avoid a rather brutal cliffhanger of sorts you might want to wait for the next book to come out first (it is #1 of a trilogy). But otherwise, go for it, you will not be disappointed.
There is a chapter named "Underwater Light". Haha! There is also a free prequel that is available as a pdf.
I really enjoyed Sarah's first novels, too, but found this one a bit more accessible and exciting. The first novel "The Demon's Lexicon" thrilled me, especially the ending which was one of the biggest surprises of my reading life, a reveal at the stellar level of "The Sixth Sense", but the other two seemed a little stilted to me. I have a feeling they got edited a little much, but who knows?
