The Black Coast by Mike Brooks
4.0
I was having a hard time figuring out what to rate this book but have settled on a low 4 star.
Parts of this book were 100% five star for me.
I LOVED what was happening over in Blackkeep but any other POV really fell short for me. I understood that these POVs were setting up the over arching plot for the series but felt like it could have been done just a little better.
I also kinda felt like the ending of this book was a little rushed.
BUT as I said parts were five stars, Daimon and Saanna were so dang intriguing. I loved watching the different cultures struggle to learn to live together in harmony. To get over there prejudices and also kinda just grow from one another. I also enjoyed what the book did with gender and sexuality.
This book is not heavy fantastical in terms of magic, it's more the world is built on fantastical elements. And you know there are dragons (that don't fly) !
Also nvr realized how much we say the word "I" in writing as, instead of using "I" characters say "this man" and man that happens often.
I enjoyed this book and can't wait to see where it goes. But it can be convoluted in terms of writing style and may not be for everyone.
