A Drowned Kingdom by P.L. Stuart
5.0
Wow, just wow. A Drowned Kingdom is a book that pulls you in, absorbs you into it's world, and then refuses to let go. I would think about this book all of the time, making me think and ponder about what was to come. I felt like it was a real world, the book feeling it was a history of what transpired in the eyes of Othrun.
From the beginning, the religion and beliefs of Othrun become prominent and real. Written in a first-person narrative, we are able to see the world with the logic of his beliefs at the forefront. It captures a lot of the fantasy elements in a new light. The magic is present and just hinted at what is to come in the future. The action is breath-taking, beautifully described, and brutal. That is just the way that I like it.
The world is extremely rich. Beautifully detailed and different as we visit from place to place. You grow a true attachment to this world because of the love you can feel for it from the characters. The characters are extremely relatable. Each was detailed and used in ways that made complete sense according to the story. I like the flaws that each of them showed, making them real to the point of expecting to find them in a history book.
I eagerly look forward to the next installment of this series as it left some definite hints at what is to come. P.L. Stewart writes in a way that makes you want to read all day! Beautifully done and I can't recommend this book enough.
CW: Language and a few adult situations.
