This was an interesting book about a young woman who discovers she has a unique power. Orphaned as a child, Alina always believed herself to be nothing special. Her country is partially covered by "the Fold", an area that is completely dark and filled with deadly creatures. Crossing the Fold is a dangerous undertaking at best. Being a mapmaker, Alina is on a trip across the Fold with her childhood friend, Mal, (now in the military) and a ship full of others. Partway across, they are attacked and when her Mal is threatened, something remarkable happens to Alina that sets her on a journey she never expected. This was a pretty entertaining book with a different twist on the familiar theme of a kid discovering their secret powers. This book is a Truman Award nominee and I listened to it on audio.
