Narrative Concering Books Above World (Above World #1)

Thirteen-year-old Aluna has lived her entire life under the ocean with the Coral Kampii in the City of Shifting Tides. But after centuries spent hidden from the Above World, her colony’s survival is in doubt. The Kampii’s breathing necklaces are failing, but the elders are unwilling to venture above water to seek answers. Only headstrong Aluna and her friend Hoku are stubborn and bold enough to face the terrors of land to search for way to save their people.

But can Aluna’s warrior spirit and Hoku’s tech-savvy keep them safe? Set in a world where overcrowding has led humans to adapt—growing tails to live under the ocean or wings to live on mountains—here is a ride through a future where greed and cruelty have gone unchecked, but the loyalty of friends remains true.

Discuss Epithetical Books Above World (Above World #1)
Acutal Rating: 3.5 It was a creative science fiction/fantasy book. The different colonies were crafted well, as well as the background of each colony. It was a bit hard to follow during the battle scenes, but I am looking forward to read the next two books (Mirage and Horizon)

Above World by Jenn Reese is the first book in a trilogy about a futuristic dystopian world. The main character, Aluna, is part of the species Kampii, who are people who have tech that allow them to breathe underwater and gives them tails when they turn thirteen. There are also Aviars, people with wings who have tech that allows them to breathe at very high altitudes. Upgraded, people who have enhanced themselves with tech, are the evil category of beings. They are trying to take over the

The author put a lot of time and attention to detail into her character development and world building. And it really paid off! This younger read is full of fun science-fiction adventure with a sense of fantasy and wonder mixed with the knowledge of technology engineering it all. I love that this book has such in depth friendships and the touches of first love. And I love the way that the girls aren't always sweet damsels in distress, but they are just as capable (if not more so, in some cases)

I was privileged to read Above World prior to publication and sent in this blurb, which appears (in part) on the back of the book:Jenn Reese's richly imagined future teems with biotech mer people and mighty centaurs, but her characters remain so very human, driven by friendship, love, and courage. I'd choose Jenn Reese's characters as my companions on any adventure. Above World delivers thunderously exciting action worthy of a summer blockbuster, but the battles and perils never get in the way

It was kinda sad, but I still liked it. I hope everything works out (and if there is another one someone will tell me)

Above World was an interesting mix of mythological creatures and our modern world of technology. Youll find mermaids and computers in one breath. I was pleasantly surprised by the dystopian undertone to it all that gave it some wonderful depth. In this fascinating world that Jenn has built, there are several cultures based on mythological creatures that descended from humans when there wasnt room left on the earth for them to live. These new cultures live in the sea and the sky and other places

Read this on audio with my 11yo in the car and we absolutely loved it!!! He was extremely relieved to hear that there would be a second book LOL! Adored the creativity and the characters.
