Review:

This book isn't needed to be read for you to keep going with the series. With that being said, having been introduced to Nadya in previous books made me want to read this book.

It's a typical book for this series. You get to learn the backstory of one of the kids from the school. Nadya was an orphan girl in Russia, who was adopted by an American family. She was forced to have a prosthetic & found her door the first day she went to school with said prosthetic. She found a place she belonged, but was forced through her door - back to Earth.

Goodreads Description:

Nadya had three mothers: the one who bore her, the country that poisoned her, and the one who adopted her.

Nadya never considered herself less than whole, not until her adoptive parents fitted her with a prosthetic arm against her will, seeking to replace the one she'd been missing from birth.

It was cumbersome; it was uncomfortable; it was wrong.

It wasn't her.

Frustrated and unable to express why, Nadya began to wander, until the day she fell through a door into Belyyreka, the Land Beneath the Lake--and found herself in a world of water, filled with child-eating amphibians, majestic giant turtles, and impossible ships that sailed as happily beneath the surface as on top. In Belyyreka, she found herself understood for who she was: a Drowned Girl, who had made her way to her real home, accepted by the river and its people.

But even in Belyyreka, there are dangers, and trials, and Nadya would soon find herself fighting to keep hold of everything she had come to treasure.
