✨Book Review✨
📚Voyage of the Damned by Frances White📚
The story started when a beloved heir was murdered during the voyage and everyone suddenly became a suspect. It was such an exciting premise but nothing hooked my interest until the last quarter of the book. The plot drags so much and it was predictable. Though I like the subplot romance. It was cute.
This was one of my most anticipated books this January because of the great reviews but I got disappointed. I was about to DNF this because as I said the plot drags so much and nothing was interesting to me. But I gave it a chance and until the last chapters of the book it became good. I guess I read too much mystery/thriller books that this isn’t the one that I usually like.

We need more fantasy murder mysteries. This one was great and wasn’t just And then there were none, which I am always on the look out for when publishers put “like Agatha Christie” in the description (seriously it happens a lot). Also it is a diverse murder mystery so A+
I really enjoyed this book. It has really feisty, vivid, unique characters who all feel really well developed and chaotic af. Ganymedes is just an idiot (said in the most loving way possible), a chaotic bisexual, and kind, which I really needed.
The mystery was unique and kept me hooked. I did made some correct guessed (logged with my best friend as per usual), but they were executed in uniquely different ways than I thought which left me laughing and happily intrigued. Well worth the read.
Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for the ARC.
