Voyage of the Damned by Frances White

3.0

I wanted so badly to love this book. I mean a fantasy with a bit of mystery and romance it seemed perfect. The book throws a lot of lore at you in the beginning so it feels a bit tedious. It also was hard at times to enjoy because it really feels more like a YA novel to me just we threw in some adult themes and words. It had moments when I really enjoyed it and then it would have moments where I just wanted to stop reading. I honestly feel like the book is way too long. It's also very much an Agatha Christie vibe I think. The whole book we have Ganymedes who pretty much does everything to be annoying trying to solve the murders taking place. He befriends two of the other characters who also help him and along the way he also develops a romance that kind of just feels thrown in. I don't know I think the book had loads of potential it just wasn't utilized right for me.
