The Isles of the Gods by Amie KaufmanMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Selly wants to sail the seas, just like her father, but he
has left her behind for his own adventure.
When a stranger with magician marks comes aboard and requests a secret
sailing, Selly believes she has an adventure ahead of her. Everything starts easy, but soon events occur
that bring countries close to war. Can
Selly trust this stranger? Will the gods
be appeased and stay asleep?
The Isles of the Gods is the first book in the series with the same name. This fantasy adventure was captivating and heart-pounding as the main characters traipsed across their waters in the hope of pleasing their gods. Kaufman’s world-building was smooth and effortless as the story progressed. The chapters alternated narrators, so readers need to pay attention to who’s vantage point they are reading. This was a good start to a new series.
