A review by dreams_in_the_rat_house
A Dark and Drowning Tide by Allison Saft
5.0
DON'T WALK, RUN TO GO BUY THIS BOOK IN SEPTEMBER
Delicious, lyrical prose
Vivid, richly-layered characters
Incredibly unique magic system
Deeply atmospheric
Chock FULL of faeries
Several twists
With a magical murder mystery?!
AND THEN SYLVIA FREAKIN VON WOLF
Sylvia is the type of character that I have been scouring the fantasy genre for; She's wildly passionate, kindhearted and selfless, utterly charming and lovable, and yet still incredibly tough and strong-willed. She sees the world with so much wonder, and believes in the good in everyone. I love her sm.
And thank god the author put Sylvia in this book to balance out grumpy, lack-of-emotional intelligence Lorelei. I felt so connected, and in love with Sylvia, that anytime Lorelei would speak to her in that nasty, pig-headed way, my anger would flare right up haha. I couldn't stand Lorelei throughout most of the book (although that was kind of the point). But then the ending was so beautiful and perfect, I forgave Lorelei, and cried my little eyes out.
I felt enchanted, heartwarmed, entertained, and on the edge of my seat throughout this entire tale. Thank you so much Allison Saft for putting this into existence.
