Zenith

New approach, everyone. This is the SECOND book in a series by Julie Bertagna of which I have not started reviewing. I might post the first book, Exodus, I might not. As you can see, I survived Zenith without reading Exodus without too much confusion. The part of this book that I enjoyed the most was the unique way that Julie Bertagna writes. It's almost like poetry, but the storyline is still very clear. The book gives you a dystopian fantasy edge, while still focusing on the effects of global warming. There are two different worlds, one on a quest, and one pirate sea-city. It's fascinating to see how they collide (literally).

Aboard the white ship Arkiel, the emigrants of the lost city Wing are on a mission to find more land at the top of the Earth. They are smooth sailing, until they meet a fleet of ships made into a crumbling city called Pomperoy. Forcibly. In the boat city, Tuck the gypsea boy is fed up with his life on the edge of poverty. He joins the group on the Arkiel as they lead the ships of Pomperoy to land. But once they have it in their sights, who knows what's waiting for them?
