Lelia Rose Foreman
Redemptive Fiction Award of Excellence winner
When sixteen-year-old Rejoice returns from her mission in space, she discovers her boyfriend is only a friend. She flees the pain by volunteering to join her family in a year-long sea voyage around New Earth. Too bad the creepiest boy in the colony also volunteers. In their search for surviving native species, they encounter storms, monsters big and small, and a new threat to the fragile peace between human and alien.

My Review
In this character-driven and thought
provoking follow up to Shatterworld, both the story and the
characters have matured. The world building is well-crafted, leaving
you with a completely foreign but believable landscape, and the
characters … they are so real as to sometimes be frustrating. At
times lovable, at times making me want to shout at them with the
heroine. I struggled along with Rejoice to know exactly what I felt
about everyone present, as my feelings changed with the revelations
and the growth of both Rejoice and her companions. Everything builds
to a dramatic revelation that both satisfied and left it open for a
potentially dramatic sequel.
