I don’t know what I was expecting from this book, but it was a complete surprise. The characters are literally trapped on top of a giant jellyfish floating around the ocean. As the oceans rise and pollution increases, long-buried sea monsters come out of the depths. The kriks, giant crab creatures, rule the land and are hunting humans to extinction. On the seas, a giant murderous jellyfish is keeping a collection of humans as pets - feeding them fish and trapping them in its gigantic tentacles if they try to swim away. This book was charming in a ridiculous way and brilliantly plotted. It kept me turning pages to see if the characters would ever find a way to escape and live on land again. I also loved the descriptions of the jellyfish and the ocean trash that floated their way. The world came alive in my head. The characters - Martha, Kate, James and Lana, the four teens trapped on the jellyfish - win the reader’s heart. The story didn’t address a few things I wish it did. We never find out why the jellyfish wanted to keep humans on its back. And I’d have loved a few more pages at the end. But definitely one of the most unique books I’ve read in a long time! Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for the advance review copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. aucune critique | ajouter une critique

After the sea levels rise and the world ends, Martha and other survivors are stuck on a giant killer jellyfish, drifting off shore--if boredom does not kill them, maybe their escape attempts will. Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |

This was a super weird book, and I loved it. A group of humans (including out main characters, 4 young adults) have been living on the back of a jellyfish/sea creature, and are finally ready to do whatever it takes to escape.
Not a lot is explained, but it doesn't need to be. You feel the boredom and despair and excitement that everyone feels, and even though the premise is crazy, it feels REAL. Definitely an exciting new addition to the YA apocalyptic survival genre, and a must-read for fans of the weird.
