I rather enjoyed this book. It was a slow read, but it was interesting enough to keep me entertained and wanting to continue reading. A sapphic, forbidden romance, full of enemies to lovers, political intrigue and court politics, betrayal, adventure, mythical creatures, murder mysteries, and cross sea quests. A dark and drowning tide is written with German inspiration, and this is reflected through the story, from names to locations. A Magical adventure, that I am sure many will love.
