People die, but only one death is really told in detail. Children dying is always hard to stomach, but the author simply mentioned they were dead and moved on. She didn't linger on the details, but I think used them to fuel Amaya's anger and determination. It was pretty twisted.

It was too easy. Especially since Silverfish/Amaya is always talking about being one person and then another, and how each name signified a different desire or goal. Silverfish was a survivor -- she put one foot in front of the other, and didn't take risks that would impact the duration of her time spent on the Brackish. Amaya is a fighter apparently, and focused on revenge, while Countess Yamaa seems to be fulfilling the desires of others. It wasn't confusing, but it wasn't clever. It just was. <br /><br />If she miraculously survived something once... okay. But she seems to get lucky over and over again, which isn't realistic. It was definitely a fun adventure, even if it wasn't always believable. :)Lindsi https://www.blogger.com/profile/13480991226741687503noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15824987442107017.post-73726780716931408362020-01-21T09:21:15.667-05:002020-01-21T09:21:15.667-05:00I'm honestly not sure why this is a duology --...I'm honestly not sure why this is a duology -- it could have easily been condensed into one book. I enjoyed the uniqueness of the story, but I'm not sure if it's something I want to revisit in the future.

Grr. And Amaya's near misses seem a bit much. LOL But it still sounds like a fun adventure! :)Tanya @ Girl Plus Bookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18357204133826428572noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15824987442107017.post-17966607756645343382020-01-20T11:52:56.119-05:002020-01-20T11:52:56.119-05:00Hmmm this does sound interesting!
