We follow Azzy who travels with her father on their boat, the Quint gathering scrap and other items for their store. Right away the action starts as the Eaters try to attack Coral Cove. Shortly after Navigator Moore wants Merrill’s help finding a group of scouts that are missing near the Triangle. Merrill and a few others set off and find this mission is more dangerous than they thought when they stumble upon The Pearl.

Life in Coral Cove is quite different than what we know. They are living in times after the Rise happened so everything is underwater and many live on flotillas or pontoons. The community must worry about the Eaters and Raiders and now Merrill's group must worry about the Deep.

Ottone has created such a wonderful world in this book. His descriptive writing really adds to the story. There is lots of mystery, danger, creatures, and other beings lurking about. The reader feels as if they are setting off on an adventure too. The story was very gripping and one that I couldn’t wait to pick back up again. The characters were likable especially Azzy. She is an extraordinarily strong-willed girl and full of curiosity. The relationship between her and her father was special, and it was really reflected in the story.

The Triangle was my introduction to this author. His writing is very imaginative and richly detailed. Coral Cove is a place I cannot wait to return too. I will be impatiently waiting for the next book in this trilogy.
