I loved this book, its hard for me to rate anything five stars but I dont think there is a single thing about it that I would change. This everything you want in a fantasy story its epic and bitting and tense at times, but mist of all it draws you into the world deeper and deeper from the very first page all the way to the last. Its an emersove expirience if you like pirates, found family, and epic tales of the sea this book is one of the best I have encountered.

3 stars. This was fine. I’ve yet to love a book by Young. The plots are great and I like her writing but there’s always something missing even though I don’t know what it is. I wasn’t particularly connected to the main character, Fable, or any of the side characters so that made this a bit of a drag. The romance was bland and lacked chemistry. I feel like this was a starter book and the sequel will be (hopefully) much stronger with some character depth and a stronger plot.
The ending was pretty good though and I think that Young does action scenes really well. Again, the writing was good and the world building was pretty solid so I’m excited to see how she expands on it. The pacing was steady and made for a quick read. I have an arc of book two so I’ll get to it soon
