Rising Tides by Katy Haye
4.0
**I received a copy of the book from the author in exchange for an honest and unbiased review**
The cover of Rising Tides was the first thing that drew me to it.And then the blurb happened to be quite interesting too.And then realised it is set in a dystopian world.Perfect combo!I had to read the book.So,if you’re a reader who picks up books by their cover,do pick up this one,cause it’s really worth it!
The writing is simplistic and pleasant,something I loved about the author,Katy Haye,in her other book,The Last Gatekeeper.The story starts right off in the world,a world where City is supposedly the only live-able place and the world as we know it is under water,yeah,exactly what we are being warned about now is what happens…rising sea levels..global working…accumulation of trash and plastic..and the like.I love how the author manages to weave a simple but highly enjoyable story with so few elements…the details aren’t cluttered ..there’s just enough for you to know about the world and at the same time enjoy the story.And guess what,this book doesn’t follow the norms of a dystopian society…there isn’t a love triangle on the book,people don’t die much,no big rebellion…at least not ome on a large scale…and yeah,it has got plenty of other differences which you yourself can find out while reading it.And I love the characters…there’s such simplicity alongside a burning life in them.Libby ,despite being slightly bossy at times,is a really interesting character,a character who you can easily fall in love with,and Cosimo,he has of course got his own charm,do I even need to mention that you’ll love him.It has great side characters too.Josiah for one was a side character I loved above others.I don’t know what drew me to him exactly,but I did wish at times Libby and Josiah would get together,but then decided against it,’cause you know,Cosimo and his charm
