Yet, this novel is well written with characters that you root for without being dragged into the deep mire of ugly deaths and visceral renderings. More of a light fantasy YA read that is more positive than negative in approach. The MC is a hoot, and taketh no shiteth. Where this novel lost a little ground was the YA to the core story line and the blushing, crushing etc. At about the 75% mark, the novel loses traction as the movement stalls and we get immersed in juvenile team recriminations. There is also the constant handy plot devices that rescue the crew from certain deathly situations. This is setting up for a series, and although I like the MC, these novels have a lot of growing up to do. Rating: 3.5/5 | | | |  | You can also reply to this email to leave a comment. | | | | |
