MegaTokyo: Endgames #2
Dire Water
Life as a foxgirl is never easy, especially in the land of Avalon after the revolution. Scorned by deposed nobles who consider chimeras like her bastards, and by the new republic forces who regard those same children as remnants of the old abusive nobility, it's a day to day struggle just to be able to wake up the next morning.
So when fate puts young Sunay out on the open seas beyond the reach of political forces, it opens up an entirely new world to explore... a world that is under siege both from internal conflict as well as the dire waters of the Void.

Wonderful story
This solidly written story best encapsulates the expectations of the reader. The author should be commended for being able to keep the tone mostly light hearted while still addressing realistic consequences of actions, to a certain degree. My only complaint is that the characters face adversity, and often see some kind of escalation in danger, but rarely see the consequences of truly failing with characters largely being capable of meeting the need. This doesn't detract from the story itself and I admit fully this is simply authorial decisions that I personally would have done differently.

Dire Water is a sharp departure from the previous book, shifting from mage Pirogoeth to the fox-eared Sunay and the Gold Pirates. At first, it was a touch harder to engage with: I wanted more of Pirogoeth, to be honest, and wanted more of her ongoing saga. But I think that a couple dozen pages in, Sunay charms you and her own life starts to be quite engaging.
No spoilers, but adventure abound in this entry: there's a whole other world to be explore that's not necessarily magical, but deeply connected to magic.
Another solid entry in the Endgames series!

Avete presente quando vi dicono che dopo Tolkien non esiste più niente di originale? Beh, sappiate che non è vero. Sicuramente è uno stile rifinibile, un po' grezzo, ma funziona. Gran bel libro. Non vedo l'ora arrivino gli altri.
