I enjoyed this well enough! It was a quick read and some parts were fun. The twist was good - I thought it would go a different way! I liked the characters. I think there were just some things that bugged me. The characters aren't very well developed for how many there are - I had to keep reminding myself who the hell Hamish was 😅 I think there was too much "keeping secrets" and it made the characters under developed. And I obviously haven't read the second book but I feel like things could have been cut to be one book... 

My biggest annoyance? Fable continually refers to her mom by her first name which I found so weird for a teen. It made sense for her dad but not for her mom, who she was close to and lost... 
Anyways. If I can find the second book inexpensive then I might read it 😅

A definite favourite.  Such an incredibly light, but engaging read with a promise of more to come.  All characters were interesting and fun to read about and explore, and the actual plot and setting itself felt like a strong breath of air in terms of a subgenre like this.  Recommend to anyone into pirate and trader books, with hunts for missing treasure, escapes from islands, battles on and off seas, big plot twists, and characters to fall in love with entirely.
