Red Tide

I sincerely hope Marc Turner will continue this series one day, because The Chronicles of the Exile has become one of my favourite book series ever. The world building is just phenomenal, each culture and characters are super detailed but rather than being written in a dumping info kind of way, it's done bit by bit, giving these novels a very slow burn atmosphere. Everything is just incredible rich and diverse with a real originality and complexity to it.
I love the way he plotted each book, with the different characters starting their own stories separately then everything coming together in such an organic way.
