This was a fun adventure! I loved reading about the seas, the difficult times at sea, and the trading aspects. This is definitely a character novel, as the plot was very much in the background. Then, since this is a character novel, I wish the characters had been built up a little more. The biggest thing was don’t let anyone know what you love or care about. So everyone is very mysterious and you don’t learn much about the characters, more comes near the end. However, this made it hard for me because I felt like I needed to know more about them. Overall, this was a fun story, and I enjoyed my time reading it. Just could have been fleshed out more, may just be my personal preference.

I regret not reading it sooner. The lore is unique and the world is fun. The stakes aren't high compared to most books, but it's still a gripping read. I read the majority (all but 30 pages) in a single day.

Fun, light, yet adventurous all the same.

I enjoyed this well enough! It was a quick read and some parts were fun. The twist was good - I thought it would go a different way! I liked the characters. I think there were just some things that bugged me. The characters aren't very well developed for how many there are - I had to keep reminding myself who the hell Hamish was 😅 I think there was too much "keeping secrets" and it made the characters under developed. And I obviously haven't read the second book but I feel like things could have been cut to be one book... 

My biggest annoyance? Fable continually refers to her mom by her first name which I found so weird for a teen. It made sense for her dad but not for her mom, who she was close to and lost... 
Anyways. If I can find the second book inexpensive then I might read it 😅
