    About this audiobook

    A generation ago, continent-sized storms called hypercanes caused the Earth to flood. The survivors were forced to retreat deep underground and build a new society.

    This is the story that sixteen-year-old Jansin Nordqvist has heard all of her life.

    Jansin grew up in a civilization far below the Earth’s surface. She’s spent the last eight years in military intelligence training. So when her parents surprise her with a coveted yet treacherous trip above ground, she’s prepared for anything. She’s especially thrilled to feel the fresh air, see the sun, and view the wide-open skies and the ocean for herself.

    But when raiders attack Jansin’s camp and take her prisoner, she is forced to question everything she’s been taught. What do her captors want? How will she get back underground? And if she ever does, will she want to stay after learning the truth?

    Revised edition: This edition of Some Fine Day includes editorial revisions.

      Enjoyable read but leaves a lot open and there is no sequel.
    • 4/5
      In this dystopian world, a deadly heat wave is followed by devastating superstorms called Hypercanes. Humanity is forced to live underground to survive these massive worldwide storms. However, not all of humanity is given the opportunity to evacuate and many were left to die on the surface, which has become a hostile and deadly place to live. Humans on the surface have adapted and learned to survive, living on boats, and trying to stay away from toads—lethal, human-like amphibians—which are just one of the threats facing surface dwellers. Frankly ,no one should have survived. Jansin Nordqvist, our protagonist, who is about to graduate from a Military Academy is on vacation with her parents and is left stranded and captured by one of the surface dwelling clans. Dystopian novels are to be found everywhere these days but I'd have to say that "Some Fine Day" is a real stand-out with a story that will enthrall even the most jaded dystopian reader.A lot of research has gone into creating this dystopian world, and I applaud Kat Ross for deftly handling this story's plot. I appreciated all the details that went into making this world so believable. I loved the character development we see in this book and I felt such a strong bond with Jansin. She's strong, brave, resourceful and intelligent. She also proved time and again that she could take on anyone in her way, as we see time and again. Will is another character from the surface that I came to admire and who I would describe as Jansin's love interest, but that would do him a great disservice because he's clearly more than that. Jansin comes to love this clan of people who were initially her enemies but became more of a family. Unfortunately, we're left with a cliff hanger ending, which I hope is resolved in the next book in the series (when it comes out). I'd have to conclude by saying that Some Fine Day is a remarkable debut novel. It has everything one could want from a dystopian novel: substantial world building, compelling characters, great pacing, with a good build up and thrilling, nonstop action. I'd certainly recommend that you read and enjoy this book as much as I did. Jack Murphy

      AWESOME BOOK. Seriously one of the top 3 dystopian NA books I've read so far. And since the market is getting flooded with them recently, I've read quite a few.

      But despite the many I've read, this one is fresh and new. It's got great settings, a new perspective and a great voice. The characters are beautifully done. It was a joy to read, and impossible to put down. I'll be keeping my eyes open for more from this author.
