Leveling #1
Leveling
Luna gently bonks her paddleboard up to the glass windows of Beckett's Outpost and disrupts everything he believed he knew with certainty-waterlevels are rising, the nomadic life is disappearing, mainland life is becoming more desperate, and fear is well, encompassing. Beckett learns that the difference between surface and depths is growing larger and deeper and more difficult to know.

About the author
H.D. Knightley
13 books74 followersH.D. Knightley loves weaving tales about characters who are in way over their head. People faced with huge environmental issues—light-polluted skies, droughts, piles of hoarded things, encroaching water—that rise above and carry on anyway.
She likes a story in which everything is a disaster, yet they kiss in the end, so it's all good.
Her characters are not perfectly strong, more like creatively ordinary, yet capable of amazing things.
They include Estelle (The Estelle Series) who becomes a celebrity dissident for starting a farm; the Princess Amelia (Fly: The Light Princess Retold) who discovers gravity and rescues her kingdom from a drought; Edmund who scales heights to rescue Violet (Violet's Mountain); and the paddleboarder Luna (the upcoming Leveling) who finds love, shelter, and possible disaster, at the edge of a rising ocean.

I so enjoyed this book. It was so different than what I expected it to be. Well written.
At some point toward the end, I realized it was not going to be resolved at the end and was so relieved to find that Knightly was nearly finished with the sequel.

Engaging quick read
I am normally not a fan of cliffhangers but this was worth it. This novella was a nice quick read that's great for when you are stuck waiting somewhere and need a distraction from the stress.
I am eagerly awaiting the next installment to see what happens next.

I won this book through Goodreads. Original and exciting plotline. The next should be even better.
