Jeansta’s Reviews > Tress of the Emerald Sea > Status Update

Okay so I’m learning I need action to draw me in
And we’ve finally just got to some
I don’t feel particularly drawn to any of the characters, Tress and her friends are all nice enough but maybe a little bit one note? I’m not sure. I’m not intrigued by any but at the same time I don’t want anything bad to befall them. Idk why??

This book is fine
But that’s sort of it - just fine
I’m not enthralled
I’m not eagerly anticipating what’s happening next
I’m not keen to turn the pages
There’s some humour sure and that’s fine
With the mystery of Captain Crown presented I’m a little more intrigued
But that’s about all. I’m not desperate for Tress to find Charlie or anything like that right now. I’m just reading because

Hmm after reading the strange the dreamer duology with its poetic prose and flowery, gorgeous language. This book feels a bit “eh” but I am intrigued enough to keep on reading… even if I’m still confused as to what the spores are and what they do
