An excellent science fiction story. In its depiction of the life on a new planet for bioengineered humans, the narrative also explores the relation between tradition, imagination, intellect and wisdom. With plenty of action, a little romance and a lot of exploration of a alien planet, it was a quick and interesting read. Recommended.

2.5 stars. I was disappointed in this because I read this 20 years ago when I was in high school and remembered really liking it. I can't imagine that I understood it back then, because it was a bit hard to follow now as an adult. I think I only really liked it because the majority of the story was in the water, swimming sometimes with dolphins.

This story is the female equivalent to Drowntide by the same author. Again it stars an underwater world and the land-dwellers live separated from the sea-dwellers. This time, the female protagonist searches her sister, who vanished during a coming-of-age ritual in the sea.

This book was enjoyable, but a bit odd. I felt like I was missing a huge chunk of the story the whole time, as the author does not do a very good job of explaining what is going on. I had to make a lot of assumptions, which made this more of a confusing than engrossing read.
