Very very very cute! I just wished it wasn’t so short. I would love to know more about the villains, world and secondary characters. Maybe this book could’ve been better as a trilogy. Everything felt a bit rushed, but it’s a good queer YA book nevertheless.

In Deeper Waters by F.T.Lukens is a 2021 high fantasy YA novel. It tells the story of Tal, a pribce who gets kidnapped to instigate a war.
The plot was awesome! The way it developed over time was astounding. I loved that it went a completely different way than I expected it to go. It also was quite fast paced what really helped this book.
The characters in this book were really well written. They all had a uniquely different personality from one another and still had good chemistry between one another. However, I felt that some of the characters fell of the bandwagon and were a bit underdeveloped.
The representation of a pansexual character was pretty awesome, as this was actually the first book I have read with pansexual representation. Another bonus point for not making it the characters whole personality.
The writing was pretty average. It was not high staking or low staking, so it wasn't hard to read this book. The writing also allowed to completely focus on the story rather than having to struggle with underszanding the words. i also felt the writing atmospheric.
I liked that there was a continuing red line throughout the story, however, I thought that this book was somehow lacking something, but I cannot tell what.
Please note that this book can get graphic with depictions of blood, vomit and likewise things.
