The setting is complex in a good way, with a solid world introduced a bit at a time. Van Loan has obviously thought through every detail, which is fun to see. The story is very fast paced and fun, and the writing is superb. It's one of those rare books you can sink into and forget you are even reading. The characters, especially Buc and Eld, are relatable and funny without being overbearing and annoying.Fans of Brian McClellan, Brandon Sanderson, and Jim Butcher will be glad they picked this one up. I wanted to like this book, I really did. I've been following Ryan's email newsletter for 2 years prior to this book coming out. He seems like a great guy and has a dream of being a published author. I wish him all the success with this book and the planned sequels to follow.However, one night while reading this book, my wife asked, "Are you still reading that?" It had been 3 weeks since I received it in the mail. Books that aren't engaging take awhile to get through, and this was one of them.I won't repeat the set-up here, as the Amazon description is accurate, except to say this: this book is Sherlock Holmes meets Pirates of the Caribbean. While the talk of ghost pirates and "parlay" is a little too much like the Pirates movies, I don't fault the book for those parts. I like the pirate stuff. It's the "Sherlock Holmes" angle that's not working for me.The lead heroine, Buc, is billed as the Sherlock Holmes of the pirate age. The story is primarily told from her vantage point, and she reminds us over and over again how smart she is. Her mind moves so fast she needs to slow it down with drug use. So those are the Holmes parallels. However, this story isn't really a mystery.Buc is not smart. Sure, she has a photographic memory and can remember every book she's ever read. But she makes so many mistakes that one quickly doubts her intelligence. She can't take care of herself, and while she likes to say she's not in touch with her emotions, her frequent outburst of anger, plus far-too-numerous curses, implies otherwise.Buc is simply unlikable. She treats everybody terribly, including her partner Eld. One can guess at the beginning of the story that the two are meant to be lovers. But why? Eld constantly talks about needing Buc, that she takes care of him. And yet he saves her hide more than once. He's at once a mentor figure to her, despite being only a couple years older, and yet she views him mostly in transactional terms. He's the muscle who helps her get out of numerous scrapes. Why he puts up with her treatment (or her mouth) is beyond me.This book has elements of mystery to it: the primary conflict is Buc and Eld trying to figure out why ships keep disappearing, so they investigate this Ghost pirate and figure out the treasure he's after. But this doesn't make it a Holmesian mystery. Nearly all fantasy stories have elements of mystery. In Lord of the Rings, there's mystery around Sauren's identity and the One Ring. Every Star Wars movie has some element of trying to uncover who the bad guy is or what is plan is. Etc. An element of mystery is necessary for an action-adventure novel, but that doesn't make it a Holmesian mystery.Consider the title of this series, "The Fall of the Gods." This is about two characters who are ultimately trying to tear down the divine religious order that informs their world; this is standard fantasy through and through. Which is fine. Just don't call it Sherlock Holmes.A few other comments, in no particular order:1. The worldbuilding needs some serious help. I can't keep track of who Dead Walkers are vs. Sin Eaters vs. mages; there are Dead Gods and living gods, yet the dead gods still seem to have influence on this world, so they aren't really dead. Some of this is explained at the very end, but for much of the book I was quite confused as to how the magic system worked. Even the term "sin eaters" is confusing. It doesn't appear that Van Loan is talking about sin as moral indiscretions, but is using it in some other sense (similar to how "Sin" was used as the name of the monster in Final Fantasy X). "Sin" is in the title of the book, after all, so it should have a clearer explanation.2. Since this is a world with multiple gods, anytime a character uses the Lord's name in vain, they say things like, "Godsdammit," "Oh my Gods," or the simple, "Gods!" It gets tiresome, as it happens QUITE frequently.3. I don't buy that Eld is a grizzled ex-military officer. He's only 19 or so? And he's been with Buc for two years, so he was out of the military by 17? The way he talks about his military experience, he should be in his 30s.4. I also have trouble with the timeline of Buc and Eld's relationship. They've been partners for 2 years and have solved numerous cases in the past. Yet he also took her in off the streets and taught her to read, and a big point is made about the hundreds of books she's read. So did they start solving cases on day one? It seems like they haven't been together long enough for her to have amassed all of this knowledge (reading an average of a book every 2 days), and still had time to solve cases. And if he did mentor her for this long, why does she treat him like garbage?5. Most of the story is in the first person from Buc's perspective, but a handful of chapters are in third person from the bad guys' perspective or Eld's. Many chapters start in the middle of dialogue or action, so it's sometimes quite confusing who's perspective it's from. Thankfully it switches permanently to Buc's perspective halfway through. I think chapter titles, or some other tag or marker indicating who's speaking would be immensely helpful. Or just stick with 1st person throughout.6. This is a tiny thing, but the author seems to imply that Buc has darker skin. Yet on the cover she looks quite white.Overall, I probably should've stopped reading at the beginning, as Buc was so unlikeable that I didn't feel like going on an adventure with her. However, I want Van Loan to succeed here, so I feel bad about not finishing an author's book. Will I read the next book? Maybe, but it's not on the top of my list.
