Beneath the World, a Sea by Chris Beckett is a unique science fiction/fantasy novel.
I'll be honest, this book wasn't for me. I don't dip into sci-fi too often because I find I just don't enjoy those books all that much. Specifically, the writing style was what got me with this book. It's beautifully written, but it didn't connect with me. I was very confused on what was going on in the story and couldn't keep track. I wasn't engaged with the book, which was very disappointing. The cover is beautiful, the synopsis sounds intriguing, and it was recommended to me by a local indie book store. But, it didn't hold up.
I'm sure sci-fi lovers will eat this book up! There's so much this book has to offer with this dystopian story, and reminded me of the world that Avatar was building.
Overall, not good for me. I can honestly say it wasn't my type of book but it is a good book!
One out of five stars.
