The Infinite Sea by Rick YanceyMy rating: 4 of 5 stars

She is subjected to alterations that nearly killed her, but that's not enough torment and her mental well-being is pushed as well.

Many aren't as impressed with this book and feel that it's more of a bridge, but I thoroughly enjoyed it. The conclusion was incredibly well written and emotional. I was so engrossed in the story that I forgot to take any notes while I was reading. The third book is highly anticipated and I will read it immediately.
