On an uncharted world, happiness is effortless and constant ... but can true joy exist without sacrifice?
The people of Meriel have long believed their island world floats alone in the vast ocean universe, so they are astonished when another island drifts into view. With resources becoming scarce, Carya and Brantley quickly volunteer to search the new land for supplies.
After navigating a barrier of menacing trees, the pair encounter a culture of perpetually happy people who readily share their talents and their possessions. But all is not what it seems. At the core of the island is a horror that threatens everyone, including Brantley and Carya.
Freeing the villagers of the bondage they've chosen may cost Carya and Brantley more than they could have imagined. Even if the two succeed, they'll have to find a way to return to Meriel quickly ... or be cut off from their home forever.

My Thoughts
Hidden Current is one of the best books I've read this year so I was extremely excited for this follow-up. Forsaken Island did not disappoint. It's just as stunning as the first one. It's got such a powerful and poignant message full of so many spiritual truths. I was left breathless by the sheer beauty of it all. It was so thought-provoking. I became so absorbed in it that I barely noticed the real world around me. It was just that good.
I highly recommend this series to everyone. It's unique and enchanting and unputdownable. I know I'll be thinking about it for a long time to come.

Wow. This quite a recommendation! The idea of scarce resources and what people need to do to secure them is always an interesting premise.
ReplyDeleteIt is! I always wonder what I'd do in those kinds of situations.
DeleteBut now you have to wait for book #3! ;D
