Publisher's Summary

The ocean rose, swallowing up the lowlands. Earthquakes shattered the continents, toppling entire regions into the rising water. Now, humans live packed into stack cities. The only ones with any space of their own are those who live on the ocean floor, the Dark Life. Ty has spent his whole life living deep undersea, helping his family farm the ocean floor. But when outlaws attack his homestead, Ty finds himself in a fight to save the only home he has ever known.

Joined by Gemma, a girl from the Topside who has come subsea to look for her brother, Ty ventures into the frontier’s rough underworld and discovers some dark secrets to Dark Life...secrets that threaten to destroy everything.

In Dark Life, Kat Falls has created a breathtaking world where the deep can be dangerous, the darkness can be deadly, and sometimes it takes extraordinary power to survive.

Disappointed in how weak they portray females

My son was assigned this book to read in school. I decided to read it as well so that I could discuss the story with him. This imaginative story follows a young boy of 15 through many dangerous encounters under the water and introduces some very interesting fictional powers.

Overall, it was a quick and easy read however the portrayal of the 'vulnerable female's got cringeworthy and ruined it for me. From older men hitting on a 15 year old girl, having to dress up as a boy to hide as a female, and in a nightgown hiding in a room when burglars are at the house why the boys save the day.. it is too much.

If schools are assigning this book as a must read, why not consider so many other titles that actually lift up and empower women?

The speaker in this audible was great, nice job there.
