4.0
Odder Still by D. N. Bryn
Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐/5
If you loved Venom but felt as if something was missing, I have good news for you! This book is the perfect book for you to read. Being the third book by the author I’ve read and the third book in the These Traitorous Tides series, I was not dissapointed (Though I have to mention that Our Bloody Pearl will probably always remain my favourite).
Rubem from Once Stolen makes a comeback, now as our main character. I have to say, I didn’t care much for him in the previous book, but he definitely made a great protagonist in this one. However, character wise Tavish stole the show for me. And the romance, combined with the high stakes and the assassinations plots, made this a very entertaining read.
It’s no secret thar I love the world Bryn has created. It's fully fleshed out, diverse and whimsical. This is what I want to see more of in fantasy books. Odder Still didn’t dissapoint, much like its predecessors. The writing also helped in keeping me enthralled by the story. The prose is absolutely beautiful.
However, I can’t help but feel as if something is missing. I do find our ‘bad guys’ to be a bit lacking, which is a problem I had with the other two books as well. But the protagonists steal the show regardless.
I definitely recommend this book to lovers of mythical creatures (I love selkies so this book was extra amazing just for including them). Not enough people have read and appreciated this series so now is the time!
