Spencer Williams reviewed Mountain in the Sea by Ray Nayler
Review of 'Mountain in the Sea' on 'Goodreads'
4 stars
It does the thing all good sci-fi should do: use the sci-fi setting.to examine and interrogate questions of ethics and society.
The narrative is fairly engaging, even if the characters' dialogue leaves them with very little in the way of distinct voices — perhaps for reasons that are maybe explained in-world.
Overall, it's a fun summer read that raises a lot of interesting ideas about what it means to be a person and how our actions impact those around us.
For parents of sci-fi readers, there's enough casual (but not really described in detail, thankfully) sex in the book that it's probably not one to hand to teenagers — so be aware of that.
