"The seas give off rumor and gossip like they give off mist".
A Space, Land and Undersea Tragedy- you can just feel the intense desperate love Atuale has for her Saaravel and that desperate need to bring vigor back to him and her clan. And then the pull of the world out there for her to explore...two incompatible desires
Traces of The Little Mermaid - an undersea dweller desires to live with the Vo and a World-Witch conjures up the necessary gene-alterations to ensure that happens.
Plot/Storyline/Themes:
The opening was like a memory of what pandemic loss was like for hundreds of thousands of families. In this case it's a fever that takes strong Vo and just breaks them down to limp bodies, scales falling off. This story seemed so bleak you searched for hope in the lead character.
Two Sentences, A Scene or less - Characters:
Atuale returning to the sea is like when you go back to a place or meetbwith someone after years apart and it feels different. Some parts feel loke old times, other parts feel stifling and not on par with your growth or your changes and eventually conversation lulla to a quiet hum. That's Atuale and her journey into the deep sea.
Favorite/Curious/Ludicrous/Unique Scene: :
Learning the Intricate and delicate biochemistry of the Seaclan people.
“Making me Vo started a clan war.”
“Stopping you from changing started a clan war.” Yanja shrugs. “It’s not my fault that your darling father promised a prince to the Prequ clan" - The Splice effect.
Favorite/Curious/Ludicrous/Unique Quotes:
🖤 “She would climb down a staircase as wide as the world is round, if it meant saving Saareval’s life. She would walk the whole way on the points of knives.” (Atuale on devotion)
🖤 “Atuale left the sea to kiss the mountains and the sky. ?f course she wants to embrace the stars as well. Desire steals the air from her lungs, suffocating the only answer” (The Wanderlust and Fernweh is strong in this on)
Favorite/Curious/Ludicrous/Unique Concepts :
■ The Vo, Mzo Ma, Seaclan, Prequ, Naraqui, GreatClan Lord
■Yanga is like the Splice movie with Adrien Brody
■Keita-Vo and their Sisterhouses
■ Gene-Eater Tech
■World-Witch, GreatLeap Marcher or Star Hunter
■Sea People's Caste system
