The people of
Atlantia have chosen to separate themselves from the world Above, but each
child of Atlantia gets to choose to stay or to go Above – they only have one
chance and the decision is permanent.
Rio has dreamed of Above her entire life, even though it means leaving
her twin sister Below. After their
mother dies, however, Rio promises Bay she will stay Below with her. On that choosing day, however, her sister chooses Above, stranding Rio
Below, alone. Rio is determined to
reunite with her sister and find her away to the surface, even if trying to
escape always has ended in death.
Condie has crafted a novel leaps above her debut
trilogy. I don’t know if this is a
series or not – I enjoyed it as a whole book, standing alone.
