The plot was fast paced and entertaining. I was intrigued by the FMC’s goal and tactics. I enjoyed the humor and internal dialogue.

After reading parade/nautical books in the past, I wish there was a little more of the sea faring details. I wanted to have the essence of life on the water… Instead it felt like they were on land or docked the entire time.

The magic is intriguing and I can’t wait to learn more. I feel like it’s only the tip of the iceberg.

The characters are fun and I enjoy that there are elements being held back. The FMC’s sassiness and grit makes her enjoyable. I even enjoy that she is so cut throat. She has to be as a Pirate Captain. I’m interested to learn more about her upbringing.

The relationship between the brothers is still a mystery to me, but I like the contradictory nature of the MMC and how he seems to be internally struggling with the pirate way of life. I’m interested to see his development in the next book.

One issue I had was with the book claiming to be the female equivalent to Jack Sparrow. The FMC is definitely not. I also wish there was a little more world building. The intricacies to how this world works under the Pirate King could have been flushed out more. So much of it seems a little vague.

The other issue I had was the believability that the most feared and skilled in the book were under 20. That an entire crew was so young was just asking too much. It made certain people stick out like a sore thumb, thus completely obvious.

But it was a fun read and I highly suggest it for younger teenage readers.

Great and intriguing book that had many small twists and turns. 4.5 only for the lack of diversity especially in a pirate themed book, which we all know gives many chances for diverse characters.

[NO SPOILERS]
such a good fantasy read. i would highly recommend for ages 15 and above. please check the content warnings before reading though. it might be too overwhelming for some people. i would not recommend this book as like the very first book you read as a teen. start with something more lighthearted and easy to read. read this after like 5 different books or so. its a really good book for getting into fantasy though!

(the content warnings i've put is for both the first and second book of this duology)
