"Atlantia" by: Ally Condie (Netgalley Sneak Peek)

Calling all fans of Ally Condie and the Matched Trilogy! If you don't already know, a new book by her is coming out on November 4, 2014. It's called Atlantia. That title itself makes me want to read the book! Here's the little summary that comes with the book:

Can you hear Atlantia breathing? For as long as she can remember, Rio has dreamed of the sand and sky Above—of life beyond her underwater city of Atlantia. But in a single moment, all Rio’s hopes for the future are shattered when her twin sister, Bay, makes an unexpected choice, stranding Rio Below. Alone, ripped away from the last person who knew Rio’s true self—and the powerful siren voice she has long silenced—she has nothing left to lose.

Guided by a dangerous and unlikely mentor, Rio formulates a plan that leads to increasingly treacherous questions about her mother’s death, her own destiny, and the corrupted system constructed to govern the Divide between land and sea. Her life and her city depend on Rio to listen to the voices of the past and to speak long-hidden truths.


Doesn't that just sound so interesting? Thanks to Netgalley, I got to read a sneak peek of this book a few days ago, and it was extremely gripping. I really am looking forward to reading the entire book when it comes out. Also, here's the cover:


Doesn't it look absolutely fabulous!? When I first saw it, I was like "wow". I am one of those people who usually reads books that have covers that look good (I know, it's a bad habit I'm fixing), and this cover really drew me in. I also love the covers of the Matched Trilogy, and I heard that the same person that designed those covers also designed this one. Check out the tagline-- "Human voices wake us, and we drown". It sounds very mysterious, and I love books that have that element in them!

If this interests you as it does for me, be sure to get this book on November 4th or sometime after at your nearest book store!
