Book description
Okay, so I just finished listening to We Shall Sing a Song into the Deep and wow - this audiobook completely wrecked me in the best possible way.
The story follows Remy, who's living this incredibly isolated life aboard a nuclear submarine with a bunch of monks. She's been raised as one of the Choristers, these boys (well, technically she's a girl but that's her secret) who sing these beautiful, haunting songs while the monks run their mysterious mission deep underwater.
Here's the thing that got me - Stewart's writing has this poetic quality that translates so well to audio format. The narrator really captures that lyrical, almost hymn-like quality of the storytelling. You're literally surrounded by these voices singing the Hours, and it creates this mesmerizing atmosphere that pulls you right into their claustrophobic underwater world.
The plot thickens when Remy gets handed this massive responsibility - basically the key to potentially ending the world - and then everything she thought she knew gets turned upside down when they capture someone from the surface. That moment when she discovers the truth about what's actually happening up there? Chills. Absolute chills.
What I loved most is how Stewart balances the mystical elements with genuine emotional depth. Remy's journey from this sheltered, devoted kid to someone questioning everything she's been taught feels so authentic. The audiobook format really lets you sit with those quieter, more introspective moments while still maintaining that sense of mounting tension.
This debut totally surprised me. It's not just some religious sci-fi thriller - it's really about faith, identity, and what happens when the world you've been protecting might not be worth saving. Definitely one of those books that stays with you long after the final chapter.
