The story was fine, journalist is on a cruise to report on the luxury of it all when she's awaken on the first night by a scream and believes that she sees a body in the water. She's trying to report what she heard and saw to a resistant security personnel, as she was really drunk and there's no evidence at all. The writing didn't particularly impress me; actually, I found it annoying how repetitive it was: the beginning of some chapters would have a very similar line from the end of the previous chapter in a sort of "previously on The Woman in Cabin 10" and the protagonist would constantly repeat in the first half some variation of "I know I shouldn't have snapped at them but..."
I'm not sure if this is contradictory but I wasn't really entertained by the story nor the writing but I did want to know what was going on. I was intrigued to find out what the truth was and what was going to happen but I wasn't enticed by the actual writing. Also, I have to actively try to find thrillers that are not "addict is under the influence when something crazy happens so people do believe them" because I'm getting tired of it.

I did overall enjoy this novel but I didn't find it particularly amazing nor groundbreaking (which maybe that's not what the author was going for). The characters were well established, they each stayed true to their morals/characteristics throughout the book. Enjoyed it and it was a breeze to get through.
I was picturing Sam Reid as Lestat for the vampire in this the entire time, so that was good for me, especially when he gets nasty with his words.

I enjoyed this collection more than the previous one. While I initially didn't like that we were immediately going back to the Earth Empire as the major villain, I really liked seeing Kuvira's post-realization journey and how she'd deal with being hated by everyone for what she did.
Good for watching Asami and Korra's relationship bloom, mid for its villain, but good for the overall story with the new spirit world entrance
Overall, I liked the story and the characters but this took me forever to get through. Something about the writing was not clicking with my brain.
I was entertained by this book. Cora was a bit too hating herself for not being skinny-mini but I can push past that. I was picturing a lot of the Yellowjackets cast for the characters in this, so that was fun for me.
*my longest yeah boy ever* this is the last book in the heroes of olympus series that i remember reading when i was younger. i remember buying the mark of athena, them being on a flying ship, but not a single other thing about it. anyways, love ella, love hazel and frank, love both of their stories. love percy, that's my guy. i kept getting the storylines of frank and leo mixed up right before it happened but i'm set straight now. as for the review, i think this novel does a good job setting up the last two of the seven that we have to meet for the major prophecy in this sequel series. both hazel and frank's stories are interesting and prevalent in how they journey through the quest. giving percy a restart by taken away his memories for a good chunk of this book allows him to remind the reader of the type of person he is and what he'll do for people he cares about.
hm, i like the writing style and the way it changes for what the short story demands. i just didn't find them all on equal levels. loved some, was bored by others.
This was fine. Entertaining but I wanted more. The focus is split between what's happening to Mickey7 and the history of some previously failed explorations or just the regular history of their people, which was interesting.
Really like this, the story, the writing, the characters. I think they all worked well together. I liked that the narrator/pov switched occasionally and you had to figure out who the focus was now.
