The Cavern
This book has a unique storyline that I’ve never read before, I lean more towards fantasy and this is definitely more on the sci-fi vibe.
Saying this, I enjoyed the premise of the story and I found Elsie relatable and engaging.
I struggled with the back and forth of reality, past and dreams but if this sort of pacing is what you normally read you might get on with this better than me!
I found the ending slightly rushed and would have preferred a little twist or less predictable conclusion.
This book overall was a nice quick read and I will be looking for the next book in the series!

I received an art copy of this book for my honest review. I really enjoyed this book and found it to be a quick and pleasurable read. The characters were engaging and the storyline had enough questions and mysteries to keep you wanting more. I found myself eager to turn the pages to find out the answers to the mysteries. I struggled whether to give this book a three or four star review. In the end I settled on 3.5 stars because there were some questions that I wanted answers for that I felt were never adequately explained. As well, I found the ending to be a little anticlimactic. The bow was tied a little too neatly a little too quickly, and with a little too much simplicity. It was puzzling why this answer at the end of the book wasn’t discovered earlier at the end of. #TheCavern #NetGalley.

I wanted to like this story, and it had a good plot, but there were some structural issues that were off-putting. First, please don't start an apparent dystopian story with your main character saying that what's happening feels like a dystopian story (a little too self referential for my taste).

Also, the transition between vision/dream sequences and reality were a bit abrupt and the use present tense verbs all the way through didn't help.

All that being said, I liked the general story, was happy that the love scene was more discreet than it would have been in a new adult or general adult story and the discovery of what was really going on was clever.
