Voyage of the Damned: A Fantasy Novel by Frances White

3.0

This was a unique book, im still not sure what I really think about it but it was interesting. This is a queer fantasy mystery that takes place on board a boat for a cruise. There are 12 people on this boat who have magic and a murder takes place and the main character is trying to figure out who did it. I liked the main character despite the chaotic narration and pov he was just trying to find himself. I thought the other characters were interesting but I'm still confused about the magic and worldbuilding aspect. My biggest thing about this book is that I was confused for a majority of the book i needed to know more about the world, animals, nicknames, and magic system to grasp what was going on. I really like the main characters' development and emotional growth especially when it comes to love and overcoming heartbreak. The book ends on a cliffhanger and I will say I'm interested in the next book because I need to know who the killer is. Overall this was okay, if you like suspenseful fantasies with a boat trip and lots of chaos you should pick this up. Thank you HTP for this arc.
