4.0
Beginning the novel I was thinking I would give it a 3/3.5 because while it’s fun, the writing isn’t remarkable.
However, while these things still hold true, I have a soft spot for pirates and the fantastical elements worked well.
Furthermore, I love the back-and-forth relationship between the protagonist and the love interest and really appreciate the author for sticking to the slow burn.
As a last point, the fact that the protagonist is pretty much like “ugh men🙄” throughout the entire book is very amusing to me and I absolutely agree with her.

If you don't mind that (what else can you expect from pirates, honestly), then read at your own risk.
Here be casual, cold-blooded killing; thievery; seduction; torture; promiscuity; and general immorality. To be fair, the characters' consciences do prick them - if they are romantically or familially involved with someone. And it's rare.
