It is fantasy but unlike most fantasies. The mystery is what exactly makes this book so addictive.
Format: Kindle
I really enjoyed this book. It is fantasy but unlike most fantasies. So far no armies or mages but a fair amount of what looks like supeernational but accompanied by a voice that announces improvements in a computer like mode.
The main character is an Aussie. It's funny, clever and touching. It is not deep but it works.
In trying to avoid his previous life in another world, he keeps things light and tries to help thew locals who live in a culture and a political system he doesn't understand. His entire goal is to fish as much as possible in a place where everything related to the ocean is hearsay.
I just keep reading.
The mystery is what exactly makes this book so addictive. I've read the second and the third is waiting for me.
I read on.
