Tidepool follows a girl named Sorrow in her quest to find her brother Hal. Hal has disappeared in a town called Tidepool, and when Sorrow arrives the residents are almost comically unwilling to help her out. I found the characters to be very much caricatures of certain stereotypes to an extreme which made them hard to relate to.
I definitely enjoyed this as a quick Scifi/fantasy read and appreciated the Lovecraftian elements. I don’t want to spoil the main reveals of this story, but I will say that after a certain point it became a little predictable. The story describes everything in such detail, leaving little to the imagination.
While I liked the writing style and felt that the story flowed very well, I just couldn’t fully get behind the plot or the characters at any point. I would recommend this book for fans of scifi, sea monsters, and Lovecraft, or for a quick read to get out of a reading slump.
