Black Tide Son by H.M. Long
Did not finish book.
Black Tide Son returns us to the Winter Sea world, where I make my exit early out of this series.
I gave "Dark Water Daughter" a re-read after receiving the ARC last year and wasn't sure what I loved about it the first time. I tried many times to get through it and skimmed the final few chapters hoping for reprieve in this installment, I was left out to sea. Quite honestly, the series could have ended at book one and it would have been a fine ending to a rather okay novel.
Black Tide Son was follows the protagonists with Mary the first contracted stormsinger to Sam's ship. They play this lackluster "will they/wont they" game throughout the novel while some paper tiger gods and monsters linger throughout the book as they figure out that yes, countries will do what they can to come out on top as the most powerful.
The problem with this series is not just its used coffee grounds for characters, its that there isn't anything new or exciting happening and it became harder and harder to pay attention to this novel. I don't think Long's writing is for me and for that I gave this book 2/5 stars and won't be recommending it.
