Sooo… this was an interesting book but I had trouble with parts of it. First, it was repetitive; the same information was given out as if we didn’t already learn it in the last chapter. There were strange word choices, ie throve instead of thrived, smelt instead of smelled.
The idea of the aquarians was cool and there was a lot of thought put into it. The world flooding and the comet are all things we fear and this was an interesting take on the fallout from those disasters.
Somethings didn’t make sense to in this world though. With land at a premium I can’t see them having a basketball league as courts would take up valuable space. Some items held value that I wouldn’t expect people would still care about.
All that being said, I did enjoy it.

It’s been a while since I read any of Mel Keegan’s work, but Aquamarine is everything I expect from him. There are two likable guys in love, action, adventure, a little sex, mystery and intrigue. This isn’t great literature, it’s more like classic pulp fiction, but Keegan is a good example of why that style of writing remains so popular. Aquamarine is quite a nice little read, despite a number typos.
