On Lavender Tides

I wanted to love this, I expected to love this, I very much did not love this.

All of my thoughts are pretty uncharitable at the moment so I will just say that the writing style did not suit me with the constant info-dumping, stating the obvious, and stopping to describe every bite of food a person ever eats in their life. It was too close to Pokemon for my liking, but I understand some people will appreciate that aspect of it. To me it felt like I was drinking Mr. Pibb instead of a Dr. Pepper and that aspect bothered me. I didn't like the characters or the dialogue. The world was interesting, but instead of letting us explore it a bit more naturally, everything was told in large info-dumps.
