Lucky is sharp, messy, and surprisingly tender. The protagonist is the kind of character you want to root for even when she’s making choices that make you wince. The pacing runs a little slow in places, but it mirrors her drifting, complicated life. That raw honesty is what makes the book stick.

A searing, soul-deep fantasy about loyalty, identity, and the cost of rebellion — The Sorrow of the Sea is not just a book, it’s a reckoning. Emotional, immersive, and unafraid to go dark.
