Soul of the Deep
by Natasha Bowen
4/5
Many of the things I liked about the first book remained untouched in this book, which I appreciated greatly. I would say the lore and mythos behind the story was my favorite part because of how much I learned.
The sequel appeared on the angstier side and there was back-and-forth yearning between the main character and her love interest. That dragged on slowly with little progress. Conversely, the pacing of the events of EVERYTHING ELSE sped by too fast, thus giving me the whiplash effect.
|| SPOILERS ||
However, what definitely lowered the rating was the ending. After all the back and forth between Kola and Simi, all the talk of star-crossed lovers, and especially after the measures taken by the other characters to then allow Simi to be with Kola... tell me why I was let down by Simi choosing not to be in a relationship with Kola. There's a "maybe one-day" factor and she chooses herself, but it then translated to me feeling like the drama around her choice wasted page space.
