The Rebellious Tide by Eddy Boudel Tan
3.0
Strong start but I struggled with this one as the plot progressed.
What I liked: the opening chapters in Quebec, the concept of a story set on a luxury liner, the queer rep that wasn’t hyper focused on labels, found family goodness
What didn’t work for me: the multiple references to Greek mythology that just didn’t connect or feel accurate (like the Achilles and Patroclus references), the insta-lust romance, the “sympathetic” villain aspect.
I really liked Sebastien but I wanted more from the story.
Thank you NetGalley for the eARC.
