I was given an advanced copy of this book through netgalley in exchange for an honest review.
Not even sure where to begin with how much I enjoyed this book! Curious tides is one of the best fantasy books I have read in a long time, even more impressive that this is a debut novel.
The world building in this book was really well done, with a detailed and unique magic system that was well explained without being spoon fed to the reader. I also loved the way that the mythology within the book was woven throughout to give further insight into its workings.
Although I did predict to some extent where the story was going, it didn’t feel overly predictable and there was still lots that was a surprise
I cannot wait to read the second book!
