The Deep by Rivers Solomon
4.0
emotional hopeful reflective medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Character
Strong character development: No
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

Strong start, great world building and creature mythology, and an interesting MC that engages you. It had some good themes on individual vs. community, generational trauma/history, and shared burdens. Not a five star read for me just because the ending was meh at best, maybe a bit rushed but just lackluster all around after the pretty bow was tied on the plot.
