thefolklaurate 's review for:
Vessel
by Sarah Beth Durst
I had read this all the way back in September and just found the time to write this review and say what I wanted to say. Between college and personal problems going on in my life I feel bad for putting off this review until now and I feel bad as well for the delay to Sarah Beth Durst for providing this fantastic fantasy novel for me to read and review last year. Now I can sway you lovely viewers of this astoundingly written world of Vessel.
Captivating and hot like the sands in the world of Vessel, I could not get enough of the essence of Liyana, a vessel for the goddess, and the hardships she has to endure after the failed attempt of completing her tribe's ritual. With not just her own goddess missing, but five other tribes as well and vessels that could be in danger because of the misplaced gods and goddesses, Liyana and the trickster god, Korbyn, journey across the desert to find and save the rest of the gods in order for prosperity to be restored to the lands and the tribes.
The world of Vessel flourished along the pages despite that the tribes are all becoming haggard without the essential human cravings that are needed to survive (i.e., water) in the desert terrain. The world-building was the most depth-defying element of this entire novel, with the mythology coming in with a close second.
