Wet Orpheus Review:

I enjoyed this book more than the first book as the story-line is deeper and darker.

Similar to the previous novel, the author takes us on a tour of the majestic Romania and encounters his experiences aboard the cruise line. The first thing that stood out for me was how the author didn’t reuse the same locations from the previous novel. Instead, he takes us across beautiful locations like Brasov, which we did not see before. We also meet old characters like Dragos, Codi and Moiara. Also, I really loved the twist in Codi’s story-line and did not expect it!

Moreover, I liked Brian more in this book compared to before. He faces many challenges and harsh working conditions working under Soren. Just when you think he got a break, the situation becomes worse while he is in Legend. Soren and Osman are convincing villains. The author wrote them so well that I really disliked them. Honestly, I admired Brian a lot for staying positive and sane while treated like trash. He faces gossip, politicking, discrimination and starvation and still has hope.

Similar to the previous book, I felt like we don’t really get to know the supporting characters. For instance, Diana was very interesting and I loved her friendship with Brian. In fact, I think they would have made a better couple than him and Romina. But we don’t see much of them. Similarly, I liked Oana’s snarky wit and felt bad for her when the Whitaker’s harass her. There were some scenes where we could have more details.

Apart from that, I loved this continuation, and I cannot wait to read book 3 on how it ends.
