I'll be honest, I wasn't sure about this book when I started it. The writing seemed excellent, albeit a little unnecessary at times. (The paragraphs about tofu stick in my mind here. Can't say I had ever thought that deeply about it!)
If it hadn't been a book for a blog tour, I may have struggled to keep reading. Well, that said, I persevered and this book massively suprised me. Once the story kicked in, I was intrigued by the Captain, and very unsettled by him. His parts are written very well, and give the reader some serious creepy vibes.
Then the disappearance story takes off, and I was completely taken in! This is an unknown author to me, and sums up why I love my reading and reviews so much. You get access to authors you've never heard of, and they give you a fantastic book!
Thank you to Random Things Tours for the blog tour invite.

I don't read a lot of suspense, but this one looked good, and I enjoyed this overall. The author created some interesting characters, and he has a good writing style. I suspect most suspense fans will enjoy this one.

Thanks very much for the free review copy!!

I can not express enough about the plot. The plot is so interesting that you will find yourself gasping everytime you find something new. Thank you so much netgalley providing an arc! It's a tale of impossible love and tragedy, of fantasy and longing, in a time where being different was celebrated change was still needed.
I really like the worldbuilding, and how the author can create a world that has the capability of making us vicariously live through it. I feel like the introduction was a bit too slow-paced for me. The characters are fairly interesting.
Henceforth, it was quite a good read.
