Really enjoy the world and characters. This feels like an assassin vs pirate story, with the twist of it being set in a fairly Lovecraftian horror setting. Or at least some variation on those concepts.

I've read 3 of the first 4 books in this series, and i'll give them all about the same review.

As I said above good world and characters. but the decision to split the narrative like Ender's Game/Ender's Shadow has mixed results in my opinion. I would have prefered instead of 4 books, 2 larger books, with quite a bit of the 'retelling' of scenes being trimmed down. A decent part of the length of each book is retelling moments we already saw from one perspective. I don't feel like it made the books better.

So my review is 3 stars because of this extra rehashing of plot points we already knew dragging down the pacing for me. If it was edited together into 2 books, so Of Sea and Shadow of Shadow and Sea were blended together into one book, the story/characters/world building of that one book is probably a 4 star book for me.

I'm looking forward to future entries in the world. ( )
