- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5The premise was interesting and I like that this is a stand alone dystopia, but the amount of time the main characters spent in soaking wet clothing with each other got to be a little eye-roll-inducing to me. The narrator did a great job.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Sometime in the future, the mainland of Noram (North America?) is divided into the haves and the have nots. Those who live in lower Noram, close to the shore where there is no electricity but plenty of trash are known as Shorelings. They are less then happy with their situation and when the story begins, they are constantly rioting because the government ruling the kansu (the rich people who live in upper Noram) have announced a lottery. 500 Shorelings will have the opportunity to migrate to Pacifica, a lush green island whose exact location is not being advertised. Many of the Shorelings, in spite of horrific living conditions, do not want to leave their homes, but if chosen, will be forced to go to Pacifica. Marin is neither kansu nor Shoreling. She is corsario, a pirate, who has been living among the Shorelings for a few years. She is very skeptical of the Pacifica advertisements because she knows for certain there is no lush green island out there. One night, a few days before the lottery will take place, the president's son Ross, and the vice-president's son Adam decide to go to see the riots and they set off a chain of events that will alter the history of Noram permanently and threaten Marin's secrets. This is a great story, sure to be adored by dystopian fans. It is also disturbingly frightening in some of the very recognizable problem spots described in the tale.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5For too long our people have suffered, plagued by overcrowding, disease, and lack of work. We have only just survived for too long. Now we must take the next step and thrive. Pacifica. A new beginning. Blue skies. Green grass. Clear ocean water. An island paradise like the ones that existed before the Melt. A lucky five hundred lottery winners will be the first to go, the first to leave their polluted, dilapidated homes behind and start a new life. It sounds perfect. Like a dream. The only problem-- Marin Carey spent her childhood on those seas and knows there's no island paradise out there. She's corsario royalty, a pirate like her father and his father before him, and she knows a con when she sees one. So where are the First Five Hundred really going?
