Amanda’s writing is always incredible - pulling you into deep parts of the characters like you’re learning their secrets and hidden emotions that somehow speak to your own. 

I really liked the story, which took on a treasure hunt in effect. I wish I had read it at least semi close to Whose Waves These Are but I read that so long ago I don’t remember much of it. Maybe it’ll be a reread this year. I didn’t quite get the land selling at the very end. I wish there was more clarity or closure on that because it felt unfinished. But it was a novella prequel so it probably makes more sense back to back.
