I absolutely adored this book!
A murder mystery in a fantasy world where our main character is a fish out of water (pun intended) and even though he doesn’t fit in, does everything he can to save his fellow passengers and solve the mystery.
I don’t want to spoil things so I’ll try to keep things vague as possible. First, Dee is a wonderful character. He’s just a good person and seeing his motivation to be good override his fear of his secret being found out is so well done. He’s easy to root for!
The rest of the cast I won’t mention to try and keep things spoiler free but I did love the rest of them too!
The twists in this book were excellent. There were a few times where I put down the book and said, “Well that one got me!” That’s the fun thing about a mystery in a magical world, anything can happen!
A great read, and a satisfying end that left me smiling and wanting to hug each of the characters. So much heart went into this book, and I felt the love for the story and characters on every single page.
Thank you to NetGalley, the publisher, and author for a copy of this book in exchange for my review!

For me to like a book in 1st person present tense says a lot. It kept me on my toes and there's we're twists that I did not predict at all
