it was a lovely, lovely read. a bit slow in parts, a bit too fast at the end - but lovely nonetheless. I love Maggie's writing style. the story is of a Black genderfluid pirate and their Asian-coded lesbian love. there is pirates and mermaids, lesbians, witches, the sea as a MILF- what more could you want?
