Atlantia Ally Condie Books

The first chapter was great and totally hooked me. Betrayed by your twin sister? Can't begin better than that. However, as it went on I found myself not really attached to Rio (btw we didn't find out her name until chapter 3 I think?) We found out quickly that Rio wasn't actually betrayed, her sister is good. Better than Rio. Than why shouldn't care more about Rio than i do about bay? Maybe it should have been bays story. But it was Rios and I can accept that.

The world was cool and that's what kept me hooked. The first half of the book was slow and repetitive. The romance was dull. I get the emphasis on family but why not have the best of both worlds?

When the deep market flooded I became interested. That was the mid-reversal point. When the s*** hits the fan and nothing that was planned is going to be possible now. Then things got sucky again.

Rio makes it up with true (I hate condie's character names btw) and the above is nothing like what I think it will be. It's messy, chaotic, unlikable, un-enchanting.

The voices in shells are one among many corny things. I guess it was YA but not meant for little kids. The first person present tense voice didn't resonate with me. I found it distracting.

And did it bother anyone else that we have NO idea what Rio looked like? I get wanting the reader to identify with their own imagined image but give me SOME kind of direction.

Anyway, 4 stars for concept and the last half. 4 stars for description and unique concept.

Atlantia Ally Condie Books Reviews

I really enjoyed this book. I wasn't sure if I would based on some of the reviews, but this one turned out to be pleasantly very well done. The writing reminds me a bit of a throwback to Patricia McKillip in parts of it, in the surreal aspect (though not as poetic) meets science fiction. I'm also not a huge fan of YA, but this was an exception. I have gotten tired of the same old dystopias described over and over (which is why I passed on Matched) but this was different.

The wold was exceptionally well crafted. It's never known if it is earth or not that she is describing, there are hints that it could be, but it isn't ever addressed. I liked the idea of an underwater city, and the logistics of how that worked were interesting, but not tediously done. I enjoyed how much certain aspects were implied, but not stated, which left room for the surreal feeling. The beauty of the place and the story of the family and their sacrifices for each other - especially between the interaction with Rio and her Aunt (the heart of the story I felt). Very well done.
I was looking forward to this book because I enjoyed the Matched Trilogy so much. As a High School librarian, I was also very happy to have found a book that was not part of a multi-book set (invariably, one of my students will lose the pivotal book in any trilogy)! Atlantia is a good book, but not a great one. It is short, which is a plus for my students. I thought that Ally Condie could have gone into more detail when describing and explaining Atlantia. I did not have the issues with Rio that many others have had; it is understandable that someone who has been forced to hide what they are would have resentment toward others. I also enjoyed her Aunt Maire's character in a Professor Snape-ish kind of way. Is she a good guy? A bad guy? Who knows? The temple minister Nevio's character was also difficult to understand in terms of motivation. There is just something tiring about a book when you have to question the motivation behind almost every character's actions. My greatest criticism of the book is that it felt rushed and a little incomplete. Atlantia isn't a bad book, but it's not a great one either.
Hmmmm... What did I think of this one? I read it all in the span of a few hours one night so I could pass it along to my sister for book club. Reading it all in one sitting, I never lost interest. The plot got a little slow in the middle, but nothing major.

This story is about Rio, a girl who lives in the underwater world of Atlantia, but who has always longed to move above. After the death of their mother, Rio's twin sister, Bay, begs her to stay below at the choosing ceremony and she obliges. However, Bay chooses to go above, leaving her sister no explanation. Discovering why Bay left was interesting to me and I wanted to know why.

Rio begins planning an escape to go above and find out why her sister left, but more secrets and mysteries become uncovered.

I liked Rio okay and liked her love interest, True, a lot. Maire, Rio's powerful siren aunt, was certainly the most fascinating character. You and Rio don't know whether or not you can trust her nearly the whole story. Characterization overall wasn't a strong point in this story, though.

The world of Atlantia was interesting, although there did seem to be some unanswered questions about it. Why did people live longer down below? Where did their air come from? I wasn't sure until the very end of the story if the book was meant to take place in our world and at what time period it was taking place.

The religious aspect of it was very different. I haven't decided what I think of it. It also seemed to leave unanswered questions about whether or not the religion was true, but in the end, it didn't matter too much. It's very different to have a YA book with such a focus on gods, worship, and miracles.

The strongest part of the story was the plot, mysteries, and the premise. It has a unique basis, with the underwater world, the world above, and the sirens. I didn't feel the "love story" was at all needed, but it didn't detract too much from the main story. The plot and finding out what happened to Bay and her mother kept me reading and engaged in the story.

3/5 stars. I would recommend it if someone were really into sirens, but that's about it.
