A Letter to the Luminous Deep by Sylvie Cathrall

Did not finish book. Stopped at 10%.
Oh no. 😢 Another swing and miss for me and my picks from NetGalley. As always, thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for the copy. 

I was excited about this after reading the description and comparisons. Unfortunately, I didn't make it very far. If the whole book is written as letters, the voices for each character need to be different. To me, the characters here are indistinguishable from each other, and I just don't want to have to keep reminding myself whose letter I'm reading.
