I really enjoyed this one - literally read most of it in a single sitting.
In this world, each region represents an animal and has a Dux in charge who is Blessed - has magic powers. Our MC (Dee) is meant to be the new Dux for his region but does not have any powers and needs to pretend that he does. When all the new heirs go on pilgrimage to take up their new role, suddenly people start dying, and Dee needs to find out what is going on, so he can save himself and the ones he loves.
Its a magical murder mystery on a boat. And it is great.
WOuld recommend this one if any of what I said interests you. Dee was a little annoying at first but grew on me a lot as a character.
Really loved reading this one!
