A review by 12rhys23
A Dark and Drowning Tide by Allison Saft
Did not finish book. Stopped at 15%.
DNF, which is a shame because I thought the writing was wonderful, just the right side of descriptive/beautiful.
But the story is boring. It might be the POV... I wonder if Sylvia had been the MC instead, would I have enjoyed it more. Lorelei is not grumpy, she's mean. To everybody. And its very tiresome. Grumpy is my fave type of love interest to ship, but Lorelei just isn't working for me at all.
I struggled with whether I should push on or not, but other reviews are telling me the author uses time jumps to skip past character and romantic developments, which is lazy writing, so I'll give a different book of hers a shot instead.
