Description
Like snowflakes in a snow globe, the worlds drift across creation. And, recording their tales, is the Driftworld Atlas.
When an eternal traveler finally awakens, he does so in a world that has been shattered to ash. Creation has been stained by a crime, and while his jumbled memories provide no answers, a single note is left to guide him forward. "Let's drink, come find me."
But to follow this message, he has to get help, from a witch who knows how to read the sea, trapped in a prison of her own making. The problem? Clearly his old habits, for why shouldn't he take in the demon needing his soul he found along the way? When unlikely connections emerge from the sea, threatening to put his search to an early end, the answer is simple. Because his biggest obstacle has always been himself – and old enemies don't wait.
Advance Praise
Driftworld Atlas is an entertaining story and a wonderful addition to the fantasy genre.
Fantasy is a genre that I truly enjoy reading as it allows me to go to some incredible places, without leaving the comfort of my home. I have great admiration for those who are fantasy writers because they create amazing worlds with wonderful characters and stories. For that reason, I am always excited to read a new fantasy novel, I just don't know what to expect.
Driftworld Atlas is the latest fantasy novel I've picked up and I'm so glad I did. I will admit that the cover instantly caught my eye and once I read the synopsis, I was hooked.
This novel was a fun read from beginning to end. It is obvious as you read that the author, L. Bell, is passionate about this story. Not only is the passion behind this novel, the writing is great. I could have done with a bit more world-building but since this seems to be the first part of a series, I am not that upset. I'm hoping there is more world building in the next instalments. The pacing of the story is good, I was never overwhelmed or bored, which is something not all fantasy novels can achieve due to the amount of exposition that comes with the fantasy genre.
The characters in Driftworld Atlas were intriguing, and I enjoyed following them in this story. Personally, I can't wait for the next instalment within this series. This novel was different from the fantasy novels usually read, but in a good way. As I previously said, it was a fun read, as well as an easy novel to get through. Time flew by as I read it and if you love fantasy, you should read this novel. Even if fantasy is not really your thing, this novel might be what brings you into the genre.

This was what I was looking for in the fantasy scifi genre, I loved the way the story started and was invested in what was going on in this world. The story was action packed and I really enjoyed this story. The characters were wonderfully done and I enjoyed getting to know them. It does what I was looking for in the first chapter of a series and am glad I read this. Can't wait to read more in this series.
"Where Alwera passed, everyone started to whisper in her wake or swarm her like fleas that had spotted a comfy fur. They begged for this and asked for that, but no matter how desperate they tried to appear, Alwera ignored all of them."

Driftwood Atlas by L. Bell is a fun quirky fantasy and just the deversion I needed right now.
With a wry and sarcastic sense of humour the characters move through the story and advance it quickly.
The blurb, "When an eternal traveler finally awakens, he does so in a world that has been shattered to ash. Creation has been stained by a crime, and while his jumbled memories provide no answers, a single note is left to guide him forward. "Let's drink, come find me." Doesn't do it justice...There is just so much more going on...
Thank yo to #NetGalley, #VictoryEditing, and L. Bell for the ARC of #DriftworldAtlas.
