I would like to thank Scout Press and NetGalley for sending me a copy of this book. I enjoyed reading it and I also grabbed a copy of the audiobook from Kobo so I could hear the pronunciation of the words from other languages as the linguist tried to find some semblance between the girl's tongue and some of the languages she herself knew. I enjoyed that part of the story, but Nora and “Seal man” were the only 2 likable characters. I have a difficult time reading a book where most of the characters are rude, self-absorbed, and prickly like the rest of them. The author was very creative and clever in how she decided to weave this story and I liked it so I gave it 3 stars.
3.5, not quite 4. Intriguing read, right up in my wheelhouse. The end fell apart for me, and I'd have liked more weird resurrection action. More about Value brother. The ending for all the side characters was frustrating, since most of the rest of the book was interesting.
