A review by cinnytoast
Sailor of the Skysea by Andy C.F. Crawford

3.0

I found this book to be a promising first effort with a decent storyline. The first and last bits held my attention and made me want to read more, but the middle third lagged a little for me. Our likable protagonist is a former boxer and current sailor, but I honestly found the parts of the story that focused on those things to be the least interesting. Ytzak exposing criminals, getting to know the townsfolk on his travels, and unraveling mysteries were the parts I enjoyed the most.

I had to overlook quite a few editing mistakes, grammatical errors, and some confused sentence structure, but the plot and pacing were solid. Any fantasy fans who also like boxing and sailing will dig this book. Alas, most things nautical make my attention wander and I dislike boxing for the most part so I don't know if I will pick up the next one. Overall, a fun read.
