Voyage of the Damned by Frances WhiteMy rating: 1 of 5 stars
Sorry to say that this book, after all its immense hype from the BookTok machine among others, was a very quick DNF for me. I could only get about 30-40 pages in before I figured out I wasn’t gonna vibe with it, especially thanks to Ganymedes as the protagonist. I get that this is a society full of privileged little shits, and he’s the least privileged, from the least of the twelve lands, dealing wuth a father who hates everything about him from his weight on down, with no actual Blessing (because everyone’s doing the Encanto thing these days), but still, he’s so bloody obnoxious with his attempts at being a First Person Smartass that it makes it impossible for me to care about him. I will give him credit where it’s due and compliment his use of bisexual finger guns on the very first page, but that’s about as much grace as I can extend this book, because after that it was too much of a misfire for me to continue.
