A review by tatere
Sea of Sorrows by Michelle West

5.0

Thoughts on rereading: For as much as this story is carried by what people are thinking and feeling, there are some parts that just cry out to be turned into showstopping blockbuster movie scenes. Like early on, when Valedan explains by way of example why the Ospreys are the only real choice for his bodyguards. Oh to see that done well...

For people who have already read this:

The first hints at Jewel+Avandar start here, DO NOT WANT. Not only do I not ship this, I put that ship in dry dock, set it on fire, put the ashes in a bucket, and launched it into the sun. I don't remember how much worse it gets because I've purged that from my mind, but I don't expect to be pleased.
