![]() ![]() This was largely made up for by Shina’s actually really fascinating weather magic and the accompanying sort of religious order that she’s part of, but still. Disappointingly, there was basically none. I also thought there would be more swashbuckling adventure. Instead of being a good complement to Tazir’s sections, Shina’s brief POV scenes ended up being a somewhat irritating distraction from the real meat of the story. Worse, Shina’s viewpoint was utilized suboptimally in addition to simply being underused while it did offer a point of view through which the reader is given some extra information, mostly about Shina herself, there’s just not enough of it, and Tazir’s stronger personality is much more interesting and entertaining to read. I had expected it to be more equally split between Tazir and Shina, so this was a disappointment. In spite of the way the book description reads, The Drowning Eyes is told almost entirely from Tazir’s point of view. The gorgeous cover art and the book’s description had me very excited about it, but it just wasn’t quite what I expected. I expected to love The Drowning Eyes, but I’m sad to say I only liked it. ![]()
