#BookReview: The Stranded (Stranded #1) by Sarah Daniels

Synopsis: Snowpiercer meets The Hunger Games in a gripping near-future dystopian.

Welcome to the Arcadia.

Once a luxurious cruise ship, it became a refugee camp after being driven from Europe by an apocalyptic war. Now it floats near the coastline of the Federated States - a leftover piece of a fractured USA.

For forty years, residents of the Arcadia have been prohibited from making landfall. It is a world of extreme haves and have nots, gangs and make-shift shelters.

Esther is a loyal citizen, working flat-out to have the rare chance to live a normal life as a medic on dry land. Nik is a rebel, planning something big to liberate the Arcadia once and for all.

When events throw them both together, their lives, and the lives of everyone on the ship, will change forever . . .

My Review: Lord this book was not only frustrating but just horrible.  This ship that floated for ages and this book that was way longer than it needed to be. Why was this book so freaking slow.  The characters were crap and the story could have been amazing but it was just a no.
