I loved the original black ocean series and that started off slow, but the world building and characters were top notch and I couldn’t put the book down. This series however was a true disappointment even to the end although I kept hoping it would get better. The characters in this series are the embodiment of stupidity with each mistake they made being more obvious and stupider than the last and it drove me crazy listening to certain parts. To the black ocean fans you’re better off rereading the original series.
