Excellent first book of the series! I can’t wait to see the characters growth both in their magic and in their relationships. 10/10.

Dark Water Daughter by H.M Long is an absolutely phenomenal read — epic fantasy — high seas adventure set in an amazing and unique world — absolutely everything about this book was fantastic — the world building was phenomenal, characters engaging — the magic, creatures and spiritual aspects of the book are so unique and fascinating — as well as complex — and it was SO well written — Dark Water Daughter is a fantasy readers dream — 3/4 of the books I own are pure fantasy and a good chunk of them are historical fantasy — I have some amazing authors works in my collection — and Dark Water Daughter belongs right there with the best of them — I won’t give you a rundown of it — purely because there is far too much going on to simplify it — and I wouldn’t be able to do it justice if I tried — but if you love fantasy, high seas adventure, pirates, weather witches — morally ambiguous characters , dark and mystical realms — complex magic, monsters, and a bit of a treasure hunt — a hint of budding romance — then you’ll love his book — can’t recommend it enough
