This was a really good book. I wish the relationships between all of the characters were built for the reader as much as they were described. But overall loved the plot line and the fact they were pirates. Pirates are great.

Awalnya cukup sulit untuk connect dengan dunia yang ada di Fable ini karena banyak istilah-istilah asing yang mungkin hanya familiar di dunia bajak laut. Tapi, setelah semakin lama ceritanya semakin membaik dan seru untuk diikuti.

Buku pertama ini sepertinya memang ingin mengajak pembaca untuk mengenali dunia perlayaran, per-bajak laut-an jadi belum ada konflik yang benar-benar menegangkan muncul meskipun beberapa kali ditunjukan seperti apa musuh yang mungkin akan datang di buku selanjutnya dan sejujurnya aku suka karena membuat aku menjadi lebih mengerti lagi tentang dunia yang dibangun di buku ini dan seperti apa kompleksitasnya.

Bagi yang berharap ada romance disini tetap akan mendapatkannya meskipun itu bukan hal utama yang akan diangkat tapi hubungan kedua tokoh utama yang slow burn, diam-diam saling peduli, diam-diam saling suka itu menarik banget diikutin dan malah menimbulkan ketertarikan sendiri ketika baca.

It’s incredibly light fantasy, almost doesn’t even belong in the fantasy category. The romance was a bit rushed and didn’t really exist until the very end and the male love interest was pretty bland.

This was fine. I didn't feel like the stakes were super high, so I didn't feel any sense of urgency while reading it. Maybe pirate books are just not my thing?
