Bit of a rollercoaster, couldn’t stop reading, definitely check triggers! I’m not sure if it was historically accurate, but still a wild read.

Really enjoyed this book because of plot and honestly it just had good sexual tension. Also the characters are really fun. There are some really interesting touches with the love interests that made me very happy to read. 

But it has a lot of hard to read subject matter, and while sometime I need that kind of read it would make me super cautious to ever rec. 

Also there were some consistent vocabulary choices I really hated. Or I probably would have given a 5

vero_lee's review against another edition

A+ for effort. unfortunately, this isn’t my cup of tea. I couldn’t even bring myself to finish it.

 I highly recommend skipping the first five chapters, minimum.

I understand it’s a pirate story, so violence should be expected. However, I thought the amount of rape and torture was too much. Gratuitous, even.

STOCKHOLM SYNDROME TW: what i listed Spoilers all the way down Bruh. She’s a respected captain, but only on her ship. And that spans only a handful of chapters. Beyond that, she’s a captive with no rights. She endures a god awful amount of trauma, from beginning to end. 14 years old. Orphaned. Sexually assaulted and beaten by her 40-something fiancé because her mother practiced sold her so they could return to proper society. Her mother, who was portrayed to be cold and abusive, had a mini redemption arc until she literally threw herself off a cliff. I can’t even begin to describe what else transpires. it’s definitely a lot.
