I’m so glad we returned to this world as I knew there was so much potential for these characters! A poly romance between gods with an engaging plot. I can’t wait for the next one!

I kind of wish we got a wee bit more relationship development between Einar, Naia & Aleksi as it felt a bit insta lovey but I really enjoy these characters!

I have a lot of thoughts on Daughter of Tides: it was enjoyable enough, but the beginning was a little confusing as was the system of gods and magic. I was pretty lost for a while at all the different characters and names that are thrown in but I was able to grasp it. Also, the pacing was very slow when they're on the ship to Akeisa and once they get there, and it took me a while before I started to get into the book. But the plot definitely does start to pick up!

The story follows Naia, a nymph, Einar, a pirate and the "Kraken", and Aleksei, the god of love. The three of them are thrust together and travel on a crucial diplomatic trip. Naia and Einar have instant lust and it was difficult to be invested in their relationship. They had encountered each other previously but there's nothing really explained about why they are so drawn to each other, other than that they are just incredibly attracted to each other. The same goes for Aleksei and Einar-- There is also history between those two and the three of them eventually get caught in a whirlwind (very spicy) romance.

This book is well written and I think it will appeal to fantasy romance lovers, but unfortunately it just wasn't for me.

Thank you so much to Montlake and NetGalley for this ARC! 📚

This book grabs your attention right from the start and keeps you hooked with intense moments and plenty of suspense.

A super interesting read, it took me a while to get into this one but once I was about 30% in I was hooked. I loved the unique storyline!
