The Sunken City is the first book in a new YA fantasy adventure series by Emma V. R. Noyes. Released 29th Dec 2021, it's 376 pages and is available in paperback and ebook formats. It's worth noting that the ebook format has a handy
interactive table of
contents as well as interactive links and references throughout. I've
really become enamored of ebooks with interactive formats lately.
This is an exciting young adult fantasy novel with generous helpings of pirates, treasure, magic, and an extensive and intricate world bursting with danger and adventure. I really
enjoyed the settings and flora and fauna and back stories for the
different characters.
There is a strong subplot with an enemies-to-lovers trope which I didn't need, but the novel also has quite a lot of substantial story otherwise, and I never found my interest waning. Readers who enjoy that sort of thing will be in raptures, because it is quite well written and it is admittedly integral to the story.
Four and a half stars for me rounded up for the interesting and intricate world building. There are now three books extant in the series, making it a good candidate for a long weekend binge read.
Disclosure: I received an ARC at no cost from the author/publisher for review purposes.
