Book description
When Oceans Rise Delivers Fresh Take on YA Fantasy with Cultural Depth
Robin Alvarez's debut novel "When Oceans Rise" tackles timely themes through the lens of Filipino mythology, creating a compelling narrative that resonates with contemporary issues while honoring traditional storytelling.
The story follows seventeen-year-old Malaya, trapped in an abusive relationship and isolated from her support system. Alvarez handles this sensitive subject matter with care, showing how gaslighting and manipulation can trap young people in dangerous situations. The curse that affects every woman in Malaya's family serves as both literal magic and metaphor for generational trauma.
What sets this audiobook apart is its seamless integration of Filipino mythological creatures into a modern setting. The sea witch character becomes a complex figure rather than a simple villain, adding layers to the traditional fairy tale structure. The audiobook format particularly enhances the mystical elements, with sound design that immerses listeners in both the oceanic and supernatural aspects of the story.
Malaya's journey across alternate timelines creates engaging plot twists while exploring themes of redemption and self-discovery. The bartering of her voice echoes classic fairy tales but feels fresh within Alvarez's multicultural framework. The inclusion of strong female characters and mixed-race perspectives reflects the author's commitment to diverse representation.
Alvarez's background in beach towns lends authenticity to the oceanic settings, while her storytelling avoids the pitfalls that nearly drowned her protagonist. The narrative moves at a steady pace, balancing action sequences with character development.
The audiobook succeeds in making listeners care about both timelines and their respective versions of Malaya. Supporting characters, including the alternate timeline sister and champion figure, receive adequate development without overshadowing the central narrative.
This #1 New Release demonstrates Alvarez's skill in blending ethnic fairy tale elements with contemporary social issues, creating an accessible yet meaningful listening experience.
