Review of advance copy received from NetGalley
I did not finish the book. Got to 70% and finally called it quits.
The good: the book started off strong. I loved the setting and the character setup. The unknown man with secrets found in the ocean. I was hooked and wanted to know more.
Then the writing started to get to me. There are too many words to describe every single action. A glance needed to have three different sentences to describe what kind of glance it was and was not. I really liked this at the beginning, but it became redundant after a while.
If you love that kind of writing, this is for you and I highly recommend it.
