Trotter's narrative is a masterclass in storytelling, seamlessly blending elements of traditional pirate lore with a unique magical twist that sets "Azure Tides" apart from other tales of the genre. The novel's pacing is impeccable, with each chapter drawing the reader deeper into a world where the line between myth and reality blurs.

The city of Tur'Mor is a character in itself, depicted with such vividness that one can almost hear the clamor of its markets and feel the tension between its opulent Upper districts and the gritty Southend. Trotter's portrayal of a city governed by both political figureheads and the Holy Council adds a compelling layer of complexity, creating a backdrop where power, corruption, and redemption intertwine.

I have been enjoying reading some of the comics that I bought through doing Proxibid. One of them is the old New Universe series ‘Kickers Inc’. Jim Shooter created the line of in celebration of Marvel Comics’ 25th anniversary.

I really loved Mika’s illustration style and the simple and direct story is full of heart and is accessible for humans to read at any age.

The message of the book is universal: Fresh donuts taste better than burnt pancakes!
