From Goodreads: "In a world where water and earth teem with life, Serafay is an anomaly. The result of genetic experiments on her mother's water-borne line Serafay will have to face the very people responsible to discover who she really is. But is she the only one?"This was such a beautiful book! The writing style was quite lyrical and the flow of the story was perfect. I was a little wary since the book is being released in volumes, and I didn't know if I would enjoy that format, but having read parts 1 and 2, I am definitely hooked.In the story you have Sera, who is born after her mother was experimented on by the Erdlanders, or land dwelling group of people. Her mother's people were the Sualwet, or underwater dwellers, and when Nilafay gave birth to Serafey, the Sualwet told her to either kill the baby or leave the tribe. Nilafay chose to leave, and she and Sera have lived in hiding since then. Everything changes when Sera is 16 years old and meets a strange human male named Tor, who is also on his own. They become friends, which is a good thing because all hell is about to break loose in Sera's world and everything she has ever known is stripped away from her.The writing in this book flows easily, and it's really interesting to watch Sera grow and change from a sheltered girl who has ever only known the small cove in which she lives, to a person just trying to fit in so she will not be captured and experimented upon herself. I am definitely looking forward to reading the next installment in this story, and just hope I don't have to wait too long :D
