Ahoy there mateys! Earlier this year I really enjoyed salvation day and so I decided to pick up another of the author's books.  I went with this one because of this part of the blurb "In a foggy archipelago called the City of Islands . . . Mara has always been fascinated by the magic that drifts on the air as songs . . . Mara must earn her keep by searching for magical treasures deep in the murky ocean."  Sea yarn with super cool world building sign me up.  So the problem?  I didn't like the plot.  The beginning started out strong but the once the magical artifacts are found, it starts to make no sense.  Mara is one of those protagonists that seems to have no agency and is thrown from weird moment to weird moment.  The characters seemed cool at first but were ultimately forgettable.  Plus the resolution was lame.  Shame because the setting deserved better. Arrrr!
