Merciless Waters by Rae Knowles

3.0

Three stars for the concept more than the execution. Queer pirates are generally my fave but these ones were a bit hard to relate to. The main character is entirely defined by her jealousy and the object of her affection is an unbelievable narcissist who just enjoys toying with people. So that wasn't ideal.

But points for the settings and vibes, which were pretty immaculate. I don't have a ton of Slavic folklore knowledge but was interested to learn more about this mythology of vengeful female water spirits.

Thanks to netgalley and the publisher for a free copy in exchange for an honest review.
