Dropping Into Darkness (The Illyrian Voyages, Book 1) di Peter Staadecker
Following some eco-catastrophes, society has become agrarian-feudal again. In Tarsis, a new Duke has risen to power, who is suppressing dissent, and a rebel sends his daughter Nyx into the mountains to study with a herbalist/healer, Elsin. Meanwhile, in the nearby Killiman Islands, the new Queen tries to murder the King's young son, who joins a monastery in nearby Illyria. Staadecker has written a fun story, with humor and butchered idioms, and some memorable characters, such as Commander Zlod, Dom Uss, and Bach, the pirate. The 241-page book could have used a little more world building and character development. 3.75 stars, rounded up.… (altro)
a charming young-adult length story, reminiscent of Neil Gaiman's storytelling for teens with appeal to all ages. cast as a fantasy, the characters are appealing, and the unusual format is that of an adventure quest, with engineering and social puzzles the characters must solve along the way, which gives it the style of a Tall Tales narrative.

I'll admit my bias (author). However, good reviews on Amazon and from elsewhere as well. Please note this book is based on a real-life high seas tragedy, and a subsequent ground-breaking legal ruling. That ruling overturned centuries of tradition and still affects the lives of millions of people today.
