Depths by J. Dorden was truthfully expansive in it’s world and in it’s characters. The writing style was different from that of a third person, dialog heavy, novel, but rich in narrative pros and descriptions. Reading this felt as though I was reading the journal log of someone who experienced all of it. For a first novel by this author, I would say this was definitely a solid start with plenty of substance to stand on and whole worlds to build on top of. Can’t wait to see what awaits Sydney in book two!
