2.5

If nothing else it was a fast paced book about pirates that I could get through in a day. While a strong female pirate for the lead was mildly entertaining, the romance was built on cheap tropes and undercut her strength and wit as a character. It was at times hard to tell if the novel wanted to by a YA novel with its simpler adventure plot or an adult fantasy given some
of the dark and/or adult themes and potentially triggering content.
