REVIEW
This was a great read, although I've discovered something important while reading it: I'm not a fan of a serialised story! The stopping and starting didn't work for me - just when we'd get to a good bit I'd run out of instalments! - but taking this as a full length novel, as it could easily be read as, it was excellent!
The Kraken King, Ariq, was truly delicious and Zenobia was a heroine of pure class. I loved them both. The storyline and Brook's worldbuilding were, as usual, second to none.
Overall series rating - 4 Stars ★★★★
A copy of this book was provided by the publisher in exchange for an honest review.
Count me in as one who loved the story but hates the format. I waited to get them all and then just read through like a regular book.
ReplyDeleteRight? And I started off reviewing each part, which was like stopping to write a review for a book every three chapters. Odd.
