Jerry Cooke
A phenomenal journey into a world with complex magic and subterfuge aplenty!
I can't believe I put this off for so long, because it's absolutely as fantastic as I've heard!
Brynn as a protagonist is multilayered, self-assured, and powerful. Her push back and determination is the perfect foil to Acker's cockiness and it makes the banter all that more satisfying. With a vicious animal companion, mysterious magic powers, and a suspicious dagger with a deep history. she's all you could hope for in a protagonist.
The world building is fantastic and I particularly love the concept of a banished-to-sea people who make a home amongst a grove of trees that grow in the water. The description of strings of lights and colours immediately had me feeling love of the locations.
I'm intensely impatient for the next book now!
