Fantasy is 100% my favorite genre, but I enjoy dabbling in locked-room mysteries and Voyage of the Damned was a perfect combination of the two! The main character, Ganymedes, is truly the unlikeliest of heroes and I loved him for that, even if his personality was a little grating (he was doing it on purpose, so I forgive him!). The author did an exceptional job juggling 12 very distinct characters and their magical abilities and I was kept guessing basically up until the big reveal. Overall, I’m very impressed and would love to read more books in this vein!
