Amie Kaufman is an author I’ve read from before, but one who has mostly co-written with other authors. She has a middlegrade series that she’s written alone, and I tried the first book out, but I wasn’t in the mood for it then. So when I discovered that she was finally releasing a YA book alone, I knew I had to read it.

I first heard about the book at the Rock the Boat showcase late last year, and it was wonderful to hear her talk about it. Even if all I remembered from that was boats? And possibly history? But that’s more of an issue with my memory than anything else, ha! Still, I was excited to read this, so I was so pleased when I got an early copy, thanks to Nina Douglas PR.

In a world where gods exist and once fought in wars, trouble begins to brew, and the gods may be stirring from their rest. All Selly wants is to follow her Father on his ships and prove that she’s a worthy crew member. When he leaves her behind again, she decides to track him down. But running into Prince Leander puts a bump in that plan. Whether she wants to or not, she has to help him reach the islands and complete the ritual. But when what should have been an easy trip turns dangerous, the pair will have to stick together, but those gods truly wake up.
