Before Dellinia, there was Dalanda.
Time can be your worst enemy. On the water planet of Dalanda, a mergirl discovers a deadly truth that will literally destroy her world. In a caste system where no one will listen to a sixteenth-born, speaking up can be hard. Astrid has learned to bow under the disdainful gaze of her society. She has learned to be silent and fade into the crowd. But the time for that is over. Now she must reveal herself and speak up to save her people.
A hidden message. A mysterious boy. A conspiracy. In this world nothing is as it seems. Will Astrid be able to navigate the web of secrets and save the race who has always rejected her?

This is the second in a trilogy, but stands alone nicely. The plot is more richly developed than in the first book, but the author still misses opportunities to make her undersea world rich and vibrant. The tension of the main character, Astrid, having to warn diverse groups of people that their planet is going to explode is excellent. Overall this book is an enjoyable read.
