Review of 'One Salt Sea' on 'Goodreads'
4 stars

I like this series. The writing improves with every book (as does the narration). I still have a problem with her use of unnecessary crutch-words: starting, beginning to, etc. because I expect the action to be broken when you do that. It's exhausting to read a book written like that, but she's improving. But I wish an editor would hit her on the head (virtually) with a writing guide. It's sloppy writing and it shouldn't be in a finished book.
But, that criticisim aside: I like the books. I like the series, despite October Daye, who is very annoying and frustrating. As main characters go, she isn't well-written. But she's is way better than any of the female YA UF protagonists that are popular at the moment, so I'm not complaining too much.
