Washed Up (With A Kraken) by L.E. Eldridge

3.5

i honestly thought i was going to like this more than i did, but there were a few issues for me. 1) the nonbinary lead introduces themself to quinn as using they/them pronouns instantly but then he/him pronouns are used to refer to them later on in the story at points... it felt as if them being nonobinary was almost an afterthought in their character planning. 2) there were several moments where the pov all of a sudden changed from third person (the main pov used) to first person for like a sentence and then went back to 3rd.... it really took me out of the story. i feel like with some editing, these could easily be fixed, but they, sadly, negatively affected my enjoyment of the story overall.
