Welcome to Litsy!

Unfortunately, THE QUARTERED SEA didn‘t work out. I could see a dozen ways to tighten the narrative throughout the first 80 pages, and the sporadic emotional cues gave me no compelling reason to stick around.

I might‘ve given it longer if I hadn‘t seen all the same issues in the previous book, NO QUARTER. Since I was disappointed with that one, I decided to cut my losses here.

Sadness. The first two books in the series were really good.

Tea, waffle, and Tanya Huff. I meant to read THE QUARTERED SEA a few months back, but the previous book in the series was such a disappointment that I kept putting it off. This one doesn‘t have the most gripping start, but I‘ll give it the usual 3-chapter/50-page test before I make any decisions.

I loved this book. It was a fun read set in an awesome world. The ending felt a little rushed but also awesomely earned, which was a weird mix of impressions to have. #lgbt #lgbtliterature #lgbtfantasy #magic #music #elemental #lgbtcharacter #queerbook #queerfantasy
