All the Stars and Teeth

I loved the mermaids, the world building, the pirates, the magic system, the pirate ships and travel of adventure.

BUT

I did not care for the protagonist Amora..I dunno if it was the character development feeling forced or rushed I dunno exactly what it was but I just didn't care much for her. Now the side character Bastian hell yes I want more LOL.

I got extremely bored with the second half of the book, i was so confused on why the fleeing maybe I missed something I dunno but I just wish there was more to the plot and a different element to the protagonist.

But the world building alone was what kept me going because I wanted to learn more about the environment than caring about the main character grimace face the dark magic or evil magic was interesting but I want more of that lol. and why on most YA fantasies is there a love/romance thing going on or maybe I interpreted that incorrectly and it really wasn't a love/romancey thing going on...I want the epic journey, the world building, the incredible magic system. I am still going to read the second in this series and I will definitely re-read this one because I had to of missed something while listening on audio book.

The narrator was good which helped me along the book. Overall I'd say 3 maybe 3.5 stars but definitely not a 4.
