barbarianlibarian 's review for:

The Drowned Cities by Paolo Bacigalupi
3.0

it was a decent book, but it left me kind of disappointed. it says it's Shipbreaker #2, but the only real tie-through is a single character, and not one that I was especially interested in! it focused more on war and fighting, and was light in the character developing plots that I much more prefer. i kept putting it down, and not picking it up again until a few days later. if I had known all this in advance, I wouldn't have bothered reading it.
