📝 Thank you to Honford Star Ltd. and NetGalley for the advanced copy. All thoughts are my own.

Where do I begin to review this one. I absolutely devoured this in two days. An amazing story with a lot of underlying societal issues in the world. It may be a work of science fiction/horror, but it should resonate with a lot of people around the world.

The story is about a young woman who finds herself stuck in a town that is inflicted with a disease that changes them. They form abnormalities all over their bodies, sometime completely changing. She struggles because she is immune to the changes, and she is surrounded in a community with little help.

I had a lot of feelings when reading this. I felt sadness, hopefulness, anger, and so much more. If you read this, go in with open eyes. See the similarities to our world. I feel this story will make a change.

Definitely one of my favorites for 2026.

Thank you NetGalley and Tor Nightfire for #APlaguedSea
