Voyage of the Damned
Frances White
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 heirs of the twelve provinces of Concordia, each graced with a unique and secret magical ability known as a Blessing. 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 without a Blessing to protect him, 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 blessing before this bloody crusade reaches the shores of Concordia? Or will the empire as he knows it fall?

0Fruits Basket meets Clue but make it gay disasters on a boat with a weirdly endearing 6yo. Was it perfect? No. Were there plot holes and inconsistencies? Yes. Did I no thoughts just vibes my way through this and have a great time? ALSO yes.
0Longer review to come at some point. I’m torn on a star rating because I had fun with this book but I had soooo many problems with it too - nothing makes sense or feels like a cohesive world, some of which I can try to handwave away and overlook, but I also have some fundamental philosophical issues with the ending that I’m not sure how I feel about. So… more like a 3, I suppose, but I did have a good time reading it.
