The Waterborne Blade by Susan Murray

The Waterborne Blade by Susan Murray is the first book in a new fantasy series which caught my eye with its gorgeous cover and exciting premise. I had very high hopes for this series and was ready to fall head-over-heels with it. The story has an interesting fantasy setting that I enjoyed with a touch of dark magic and political intrigue that kept me on edge. Unfortunately though, I did not connect well with the heroine nor the romance as much as I had hoped to.
