A review by ssung
Child of a Hidden Sea by A.M. Dellamonica

3.0

i am aghast at the cover of this book, because if that is parrish i'll eat a bicorne hat in impotent fury. where is my bollywood star in a frock coat and fancy hat?

sophie's refreshing in that she's actually curious about the world she's dropped into, but also incredibly annoying because not only is she drawn as being mostly brash and somewhat thoughtless, you are privy to her schizophrenic and mildly inane thought process, which includes anything from observations of otters to much idle speculation (much) over 'captain tasty'. aside from that, pretty fun read.

but scripping! i spent a good part of the book wondering why scripping and law don't seem to go hand in hand instead of the law/duelist setup.
