Voyage of the Damned by Frances White
A total surprise and will be one of my books of the year. Ganymedes Piscero is my new hero and I loved every single page of this flirty, funny, murder mystery fantasy that deals with snobbery, fat shaming and everything in between. I felt every emotion reading it. I am going to buy the special edition and I never buy special editions. Just read it, read it , read it.
From the back
For a thousand years, Concordia has maintained peace between its provinces. To mark this incredible feat, the emperor's ship embarks upon a twelve-day voyage to the sacred Goddess's Mountain.
Aboard are the twelve heirs of the provinces of Concordia, each graced with a unique and secret magical ability known as a Blessing.
All except one: Ganymedes Piscero – class clown, slacker, and all-round disappointment.
When a beloved heir is murdered, everyone is a suspect. Stuck at sea and surrounded by powerful people and without a Blessing to protect him , Ganymedes's odds of survival are slim.
But as the bodies pile higher, Ganymedes must become the hero he was not born to be. Can he unmask the killer and their secret blessing before this bloody crusade reaches the shores of Concordia?
Or will the empire as he knows it fall forever?
