I enjoyed this one! The background where the world has once again been (biblically) flooded is so interesting that I wish the story had taken place in more places than just the survival towers. It sort've feels like a missed opportunity, even though I know the true focus of the narrative was remembrance of your roots in order to make an informed future for oneself (and well, government/society in general) - and maybe also the idea that sacrifice begets sacrifice.

I liked the characters and to be fair I wish there was more about the Child/ren. I simply want more! This would be a great start to a series.
