lunarchfey 's review for:
In Deeper Waters
by F.T. Lukens
2.5/5 stars
I was super disappointed in this one and really wanted to love it, but it was so poorly-paced and clunky. The first 30-40% were achingly slow to build to anything interesting, and then much of the climax and resolution happened at around the 75% mark. There were plot threads that seemed to go nowhere, or were barely explored, or resolved too quickly. Stilted and stiff dialogue and a lot of implications and things that should have been interesting were left unexplored or just scratched the surface. A book of potentially good ideas that were woefully underutilized.
