This book was very intriguing. It took a little bit for me to adjust to the writing style but after that, i really liked it. After reading the cover i was quite curious and the book left me curious and pondering it until the end! Just when i thought i had figured it out, the author threw in another twist. It was a fairly easy read but the plot itself was challenging. You never knew what would happen next, even though you had the insight into some of the characters thoughts and feelings. i liked that aspect of the book, it kept me opening the cover over and over again, wondering what kind of story it would become right in front of my eyes.When the prime-ministers daughter is kidnapped from the village Lilly lives in the world as she knew it disappears piece by piece. Full of sad twinges and funny tidbits the book is a journey. You get to travel with Lilly and her sea-cat as they travel around the England of the 22nd century: all under water and technology has more or less vanished. As Lilly fights to clear the name of her village she meets raiders, business men, a strange irish man and the english military. But nothing will stop this girl from getting what she has set out to do. Not unknown waters, not a raider boy, not disguises or talking boxes, no, nothing will stop Lilly.This is another book to suggest to younger people who don't like to read. The plot is interesting, as is the language and characters. Even i was surprised in the end of it all! Sure, I would recommend this. Great Britain in the 23rd century is considerably changed from its current state. The ocean has reclaimed a great portion of the land leaving tough survivors precariously clinging to existence wherever they can. Lilly lives in a fisher village with her Granny and Cat, a rare seacat vital to her fishing endeavors. Life is rough, and only gets more complicated when the Prime Minister's young daughter, Lexy, is kidnapped from her village while visiting her aunt. While Lilly is trying to rescue Lexy and stop a war between the English and the Raiders, she meets Zeph. A son of the Angle Isling Family Boss, Zeph is all about war and raiding. His encounter with Lilly and Lexy and Cat changes him a great deal. There is conflict, broken promises and surprise alliances all around these young kids as they try to understand and survive in a hostile world.
What do You think about Reavers' Ransom (2008)?
Alexander really enjoyed this and would recommend it highly.
