A review by yggie
The Waterborn by Greg Keyes

3.0

This book loses a lot of it's potential charm in the Dutch translation. The world building is well done, it's an interesting backdrop filled with non-European ideas. Very refreshing.
The language however is stilted and clunky. Nothing anyone said sounded like things people would say, songs were super awkward and weird, descriptions were rather hit or miss.

I might read the sequel, but it would definitely have to be in the original language. This Dutch version is quite terrible, alas.
