vitsa 's review for:
The Fisherman King
by Kathrina Mohd Daud
I found the story really fascinating and quite enjoyed the plot in general but I had a problem with the main character and his motivations.
I found Lisan’s motivations unclear and his actions inconsistent. He went from being driven by an overwhelming need to find his past to a power hungry kingdom seeker (wiling to sacrifice innocents for this goal) to remorseful …. nothing, I guess, with speed that gave me whiplash. And frankly he was a major dick to Bathia. He went on about what a strong independent woman she is and then proceeded to tell her what to do all of the time. So he wanted a woman who appeared strong but would actually always do what he wanted.
The writing also didn’t really work for me but writing is very much a matter of personal preference.
