Faye and the City in the Sea by Nicole Bailey
3.0
Interesting world, pacing problems.
I gave the first book 3 stars and was hoping to like the series more after reading the second book, but I unfortunately don’t. I think this author is great at writing a new world and interesting characters, but the pacing could use a lot of help. So much of both books was just waiting around and then random action at the end, with too much time spent on stuff that doesn’t need pages of details and vice versa. And I’ve been told the third book is much the same so I don’t plan on reading anymore. Perhaps a talented editor would help elevate this author’s storytelling?
