Chey has lost everyone she cares about. Her mother. Her father. Her best friend. Her ancestors moved into their ocean refuge to protect themselves; instead, the waters have slowly taken her people, one-by-one.
When Chey feels the blues encroaching, she will do anything to save herself. Her attempts to survive lead to a forbidden encounter with a kind outsider, Jesse. The only problem? His existence shouldn’t be possible.
Cerulean One Thousand Blues Book 1 eBook Anna Kyss
This novel follows a teen, Chey, as she grows up in, and looks to escape from a cloistered, restrictive underwater environment. I liked the book. It was imaginative and there was sufficient explanation so the reader understood how this world developed.The book draws the reader into Chey's world. She is a sympathetic character. She is curious, intelligent, and willing to take risks. I enjoyed the concept that the characters in her world were able to communicate and interact with dolphins and whales. The underwater mammals are presented as very engaging characters.
The protagonist is given different and interesting settings in which to interact. I maintained my interest throughout the story and for me, the book provided an interesting premise, an engaging storyline, and a satisfactory ending that left open the possibility for a sequel. Sometimes the reader wants to drift away along with the story. This novel provides one with the opportunity to do just that.

Cerulean One Thousand Blues Book 1 eBook Anna Kyss Reviews
(I read this as included in the Fractured Worlds anthology). When the apocalypse struck, a colony of humans had developed technology to survive underwater after the surface had been radiated. Chey’s people have survived for several generations underwater, but still their numbers dwindle dramatically because of the “unmentionable”-people succumb to the “blues” and commit suicide by cutting out the gills that they need to breathe with underwater. The Authority keeps a tight reign over the people, and Chey bristles under the strictures of living in her society, and while she is doing a forbidden exploration with her dolphin partner, she finds a human in a scuba suit, and definitely not one of her people. There are people living on the surface and the Authority didn’t tell them! As the Authority tightens control over Chey, she escapes, and gets pulled to the surface by the young teenage diver boy she meets. And though they just have a small colony of people surviving on the surface, she finally feels the sunlight on her skin for the first time.
This is a delightful mermaid tale (though in this case the mermaid isn’t an actual mermaid. She’s just a human who has lived her life entirely underwater with technology like the underwater pods and the skin suits). So, not only does this fit into the fantasy category as a mermaid tale, but it’s also a scifi with all the future technology and dystopian depicting the world after the apocalypse and under a rigid authority with a rebellious young girl at the heart of it. But this doesn’t rip off Hunger Games or
Divergent or any of the popular YA dystopian books that I’ve read currently on the market (yay! I love originality!) I loved that it created its own story and its own world. And I especially loved the little bits of Hawaii (being that I’m from Hawaii). Specifically I think it’s supposed to be Maui since I could swear I spotted the windy road to Hana. Largest issue is that this feels like just book 1 of a larger series, but this was published in 2012 and it doesn’t seem like there are any further books coming. There were plenty of questions and details not adding up about the Authority, the leader of the underwater colony, and not to mention the question of if there might be other survivors in the world. I’ve read one other book by Anna Kyss, and like that one, this one also focuses mainly on the YA romance without really dwelling on the deeper, darker details of the world (until that chapter near the end). All of the characters felt nicely fleshed out and the underwater world was rich with detail. The above world felt rather sparse by comparison, but the characters were at least rounded. But it felt like the pacing could have been tightened, making it drag in quite a few places. In all, I would be interested in reading more of this series should more ever get written.
Crux of the story has legs, could have been fleshed out a lot more.
More background & further into the future to see how Chay could've freed her people would've been more enticing to me.
The concept was interesting, but the actual story was not very well constructed. It moved too fast in some places and too slow in others. The author did certainly excel at creating an oppressive atmosphere.
I thought this was just sooooo adorable! The mermaids and the land humans, just so cute. I wonder if there will be another book?
This was a well written book, and I enjoyed most of it. My only problem was that it felt truncated. Characters and plot could have been fleshed out more, and there was no real resolution. It would have been a better book if it had been longer, with the protagonist returning home to free her people.
I had written the author, Anna Kyss, regarding one of her other books and since that was not yet published she recommended this book of hers. I am not a fast reader, but this book was so interesting that I read it in 2 days while camping. I absolutely loved the storyline and the way in which the story is written. If you have read Anna's other book, this is a must-read.
I listened to this via Audible and thought the mix between The Little Mermaid and Brave New World was just out of this world. This is one of the most original fairytale/dystopian/YA books I have ever read (I don't even think I've come across this unique combination ever before!). Longer review to be found at Audible soon )
