A review by jenhurst
The Deepest Blue by Sarah Beth Durst

5.0

I think Sarah Beth durst is very underrated. This book is the exact kind of fantasy I love. Developed world, strong characters and an interesting premise. I see the comparisons to the hunger games and agree. But it’s still different enough that I works. I liked seeing the view point of the queen and seeing that no matter how strong she is, she still has her hands fairly tied. I liked how her compassion was show in a good light. The traits that were more feminine, were show positively within the book and still allowed the female characters to be very strong. That’s something that I think is not shown enough in books.
I also loved how the world was so different from the world we saw in queen of blood. It’s described as a beautiful ocean focused world and I love stories that focus on sea/ocean/lake towns.
I wish more people were reading Sarah beth Durst books and this one in particular. I highly recommend it!
