The Isle in the Silver Sea

Other than the romance and our hot hot lady knight Vina I absolutely LOVED the found/chosen family themes in this book. Tasha Suri just has a way of making you feel the connection and love between characters. Also the ending was amazing!

Different than I anticipated but awesome none the less! The queerness, the tales, the general idea of the isle and do not forget the characters! I just adore Vina, Hari and Galath in Part 2!!! How cute is that?! And because all of them were written so good I didn't hate any...well okay Apollonius was a d*** and I pity Meera and Mathias, but all in all great characters. I still don't know who the Queen represents tho? And let's not forget the role of racism and fighting the cultural erasure in this book. I can't begin to imagine how it must be for all the people of Elsewhere and of course all real life people ... But yeah go read it if you like a different take on reincarnation, queerness and finding freedom, that a story for you!

Es gefiel mir leider nicht gut. Die Idee ist soo toll, aber die Ausführung hat nicht meinen Geschmack getroffen. Das Tempo ist unfassbar langsam, die Handlung teilweise wirr und die Figuren bleiben blass. Der Fokus liegt mehr auf Plot und Stimmung, auch wenn ersteres für mich nicht klar erkennbar war. So schade!
