A review by mweis
Merciless Waters by Rae Knowles
medium-paced
4.0
*I received an eARC via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.*
I’m not going to lie, this was 100% an impulse request because of this gorgeous cover and then I heard spooky sapphic pirates and went yes please.
I don’t want to say too much because it is a novella, but I really enjoyed this. Knowles throws the reader into the story at the start and it did take some time to get bearings straight but I liked the turns the plot took and was fully engrossed in the story while reading it. I thought there was an impressive amount of character interaction and world building in such a short page length.
I think if you’re looking for retellings outside of the Greek pantheon and you’re in the mood for some feminine rage, you should definitely check this out!
