I dnf at 40%. 

Not that the story isn't interesting or that it is badly written because it's not. But the first 20/30% are slow and thick infodump about sea navigation, fishing boat and wale fishing (I applaud the amount of research done here, it definitely shows,  but I had to search for the meaning of too much technical terms to keep my attention on the plot. Too detailed on the navigation, boat and fishing technics and not enough focus on the character development and the plot for my tastes) before things are starting to move slowly toward the folk tale elements and the plot, around 30/35% and it was still too little. 

I still recommend people to try it as it seems a beautiful and dark story and there has been something tickling my curiosity from the begining, but for me, not enought to keep me going. And I didn't manage to root for the character so I struggled to keep going. But as I said, definitely a question of taste. It definitely can work with other readers. 

This cover is awesome also 🥰

The summary sounded great but I was quickly bored, it kind of fell flat quickly. 

Maybe a lot has been lost with the translation but I didn't find it enjoyable and really don't get the hype. 

Arc provided by Netgalley and the file was compromised. Impossible to edit the font size and the one in the file was too thin and small to. E a comfortable read. 

I love all the horror books by T. kingfisher but this book was too YA for me even if I move fantasy 

The book was well written and developed but i guess i just wasn't able to hook for the main character and i lost track so many time during the ebook and then the audiobook format that i can barely remember it except for the first few chapters. Definitely a question of taste though. The book itself wasn't bad. 

another hyped one that I shouldn´t have start at all. 

i really need to stop reading trendy books. This one was part of my spooky season TBR and probably the one I dnf the fastest
