I adored this book! The world building & city of Tiankawi brought this book alive, every part of the city & it's people were fascinating. The urban fantasy setting within a partially submerged city alongside all these aquatic mythical creatures was just so unique and riveting! Having the pov characters take us to different parts of the city and show us it's people really helped paint a vivid and detailed picture of life in Tiankawi.
The characters have such range in their personalities, it really helped build my attachment to them & even the minor side characters stood apart. I hope we see more of Nami & Eun in the future (and less of a certain kelpie 😤). I look forward to seeing Mira's next steps and more growth from Nami after the ending of this story.
The ending is great and sets up the rest of the series perfectly, I can't wait to learn more about the world, gods and what happens next to the city, let alone all the characters and the folk who live in it.
Thanks to Netgalley & Little Brown Book Group for the arc!
