Acerca de esta escucha
New York Times best-selling author Mira Grant, author of the renowned Newsflesh series, returns with a novel that takes us to a new world of ancient mysteries and mythological dangers come to life.
The ocean is home to many myths,
But some are deadly....
Seven years ago the Atargatis set off on a voyage to the Mariana Trench to film a mockumentary bringing to life ancient sea creatures of legend. It was lost at sea with all hands. Some have called it a hoax; others have called it a tragedy.
Now a new crew has been assembled. But this time they're not out to entertain. Some seek to validate their life's work. Some seek the greatest hunt of all. Some seek the truth. But for the ambitious young scientist Victoria Stewart, this is a voyage to uncover the fate of the sister she lost.
Whatever the truth may be, it will be found only below the waves.
But the secrets of the deep come with a price.

When the Imagine Network commissioned a documentary on mermaids, to be filmed from the cruise ship Atargatis, they expected what they had always received before: an assortment of eyewitness reports that proved nothing, some footage that proved even less, and the kind of ratings that only came from peddling imaginary creatures to the masses.

Historia
Modern medicine has conquered or contained many of the diseases that used to carry children away before their time, reducing mortality and improving health. Vaccination and treatment are widely available. There are still monsters left to fight, but the old ones, the simple ones, trouble us no more. Or so we thought. For with the reduction in danger comes the erosion of memory, as pandemics fade from memory into story into fairy tale. Those old diseases can't have been so bad, people say, or we wouldn't be here to talk about them. They're never coming back.... It begins with a fever.

We think we understand the laws of physics. We think a lot of things. It was perhaps inevitable that some of them would turn out to be wrong. When the great incursion occurred, no one was prepared. Of all the things physicists had predicted, "the fabric of reality might rip open and giant monsters could come pouring through" had not made the list. But somehow, that was precisely what happened.

You may think you know how the fairytale goes: a mermaid comes to shore and weds the prince. But what the fables forget is that mermaids have teeth. And now, her daughters have devoured the kingdom and burned it to ashes. On the run, the mermaid is joined by a mysterious plague doctor with a darkness of their own. Deep in the eerie, snow-crusted forest, the pair stumble upon a village of ageless children who thirst for blood, and the three “saints” who control them. The mermaid and her doctor must embrace the cruelest parts of their true nature if they hope to survive.

When Gyre Price lied her way into this expedition, she thought she’d be mapping mineral deposits and that her biggest problems would be cave collapses and gear malfunctions. She also thought that the fat paycheck - enough to get her off-planet and on the trail of her mother - meant she’d get a skilled surface team, monitoring her suit and environment, keeping her safe. Keeping her sane. Instead, she got Em. Em sees nothing wrong with controlling Gyre’s body with drugs or withholding critical information to “ensure the smooth operation” of her expedition.

A strange plague called the "Gets" is decimating humanity on a global scale. It causes people to forget - small things at first, like where they left their keys... then the not-so-small things like how to drive, or the letters of the alphabet. Then their bodies forget how to function involuntarily - and there is no cure. But now, far below the surface of the Pacific Ocean, deep in the Marianas Trench, an heretofore unknown substance hailed as "ambrosia" has been discovered - a universal healer, from initial reports.

Off the coast of New Zealand, there's an underwater mining facility 8,000 feet under the ocean. The crew stationed there knows that drowning is the least of their worries at such depths. That's why they panic when a maintenance member goes missing while out on a repair mission. There's something far worse down there than the crushing pressure, the ticking timers on their oxygen tanks, and the everlasting darkness that inhabits such depths. And it's hunting them one by one.

Depicting Grief's Worst Entaglements

Incredibly intense.

I wouldn't call this scary so much as it's entertaining in a how-are-they-going-to-get-out-of-this kind of way. The "monsters" are well-wrought--I could really picture what these creatures looked like, and I appreciated them being almost complex, not just mindless gore-mongers. They're predators. It raises some questions on what it means to be human, what it means to be a person, what it means to be good or bad.
I also found the narrator, Christine Lakin, very pleasant to listen to. She has a pleasing voice, and does a great job differentiating voices, and handling male and female characters. The only reason I don't give her five stars is because her foreign accents--most notably, her Australian accent--are cringe-worthy. It's not a deal breaker, but if you do give this a listen, I think you'll hear what I mean.
All that being said, I do think this story ultimately falls flat for a few reasons. One of those reasons is because there is a rather sappy love story thrown in that was a little too insta-lovey for me. I think I understand what the author was trying to do, but I just don't ultimately think the story needed it. In fact, there are a couple of spots where Grant is telling a love story, or else a love-gone-wrong story, and it just wasn't that interesting. These should have been side-notes at best, and I just felt they took up too much of the plot. Also, the sheer number of times Grant felt the need to remind us that the passengers on the voyage are scientists is annoying at best, and distracting at worst.
The biggest reason this falls flat for me, though, is that the climax of the story just goes on for far too long. Like, hours longer than it should. The action really peaks at about 14 hours in, and then there's still three hours to go. I found myself wondering how Mira Grant was going to hold the story up for another three hours.
The answer is that she kinda doesn't. It's really just a drawn-out repetition of things we already know at that point. Grant does a great job of making her very diverse (which is a big plus) characters feel truly human and complex, with various motivations and weaknesses and wants. But the last few hours doesn't exactly add to any of that. It's a drawn out bloodbath with a whole lot of angst thrown in. This is a monster story, so I expected the bloodbath, but I wish there had been a little less angst.
And it was so drawn out, that by the time it reaches its resolution, it's unsatisfying. It's a whomp whomp, like Grant wore herself out and just didn't want to go on writing for much longer. If it were possible, I would give this book 3 and a half stars, rather than just three, because I was definitely entertained, and, at some points, even genuinely creeped out. But I can't bring myself to round up. It started out great, but it just went on too long, tried to do too many things, and ultimately fizzled.
Possibly a Fizzle

I give the narrator a solid 3.5. It would have been a lot higher, but apart from accents her male choices all sound the same (and are only marginally different from her default female voice). In terms of pacing, inflections, accents, and female voices, however, she was fantastic.
The story, I'm sorry to say, only rates about 2.8 stars.
This was an interesting story with a pretty unusual take on what mermaids/merpeople are/could be, and takes us on a pretty terrifying journey into that possibility.
We are introduced to a pretty diverse cast of characters that all bring something different to the table. Unfortunately, most of them are (at best) two-dimensional cutouts.
And I do have pretty serious issues with the fact that with maybe one or two exceptions, every female character in the book is described as a bombshell with amazing... endowments. And with maybe five exceptions, almost all of the male characters are scum sucking douche-bags.
Which leads me to the various reasons for my low rating:
Ultimately, in terms of grammar and prose, it leaves quite a bit to be desired (clunky constructions, passive voice, and lots and lots of extra words that serve no purpose).
Almost every character is introduced with a ton of (mostly) pointless backstory. Which I suppose was a clumsy way of getting to make the characters relatable and make me care about them. But it didn't really work. I ended up feeling for Olivia and Tori, but on account of what they experience during the story, not their clumsily presented backstory.
Over and above everything else, though, I have the major issues.
First, even at the end I have no sense of who was supposed to be the protagonist (there is maybe a slight preference for Tori here, but there are still several possibilities).
Second, the author seemed unable to make up her mind whether the story was being told in a limited third person or an omniscient one. So much of the narrative feels like a tight third person (narration in the voice of The character whose head we happen to be in), yet we bounce between different characters' internal thoughts all the time and we're presented with information that no character in the book could possibly know.
And third, it took forever to get to the point.
If I was reading/listening to a 1,000-page/30+ hour epic fantasy, I might expect to take the first ten hours just setting the stage and getting to know the characters. But in a book like this? No. It didn't need to spend such a long time on mundane happenings before finally getting to the point.
In the end, in glad I stuck with it and finished the story, but I wish the author had done a better job with the writing. Sticking primarily with the here and now, fixing the POV issues, having a clear main character, and not taking so long to get to the point would have gone a long way toward making this a much more enjoyable book.
With how recent this book is (hence, one would thing, it should be among her best work), I'm not sure I'll be reading any more of her work.

However, my expectations were not met. It’s a good premise, but the characters are two-dimensional to the point of cartoonish and it was obvious minimal research was done.
I really wanted to like it. Maybe I’ll try the author again after she has some more experience.
