The Dark Tide by Alicia Jasinska
4.0
This one was really interesting and I enjoyed it a lot!
The world building and setting were immaculate. Despite the book being quite short and a stand-alone, I got invested in the island and it’s happenings. I loved how it was a melting pot of cultures and foreign magic, and I found the sacrificing-to-the-tide thing very engaging.
Unfortunately I don’t feel like I had enough time to really get attached to the characters and their relationships, but the intimacy I did feel was still impressive considering the book’s length.
The characters were unique and complex for the most part, and their interactions with each other were entertaining.
I did find the plot predictable but I enjoyed the rest of it enough that I’m giving it four stars.
