Sharcano by Jose Prendes
4.0
Okay, so everything about this book told me that it should be terrible. I was given a digital copy of this book by NetGalley/Curiosity Quills in exchange for an honest review. Upon reading the blurb about this book, I couldn't help but be curious. It has many of the things I would normally avoid in a book. The weird thing is, though, it was pretty great.
All of the characters are well written and fun to read about. This was unexpected in a book whose main plot device is sentient lava that manifests as deadly, bloodthirsty sharks. There is something magical about this book. It takes you along on a ridiculous journey, but makes you really care about what is happening and the people who are living it. I even got a little emotional in places.
Bottom line? I recommend this book.
