I was able to get into Crown of Coral and Pearl, Mara Rutherford's first novel, when I first started struggling to concentrate on reading a few months ago because, well, 2020. Though I never found the worldbuilding convincing, I did like the idea of the ocean village with its stilt-legged houses above the water, and I enjoyed the bond between Nor and her twin sister (even though I never really found it to be one of those books that I must keep reading).

However, it's a book that I found less and less engaging, and I didn't end up finding it all that memorable overall.
