4.0

 The high seas could only bring ruin. Beware. I wasn't a pirate. I wasn't my mother.

Pirates, sea monsters, ghost ships, mermaids, mysterious islands, mutiny, this book has everything a high seas adventure needs and then some. Cursed treasure? Check. Life-altering stakes? Check. Surprisingly soft romance? Also check. (Arn and Emme are so cute? I can't even?)

I had so much fun reading this book, it was just genuinely a good time. Every other scene had me delightedly giggling as some new piece was added to the epic puzzle. The magic system (what little we see of it in this first book) was SO cool! I'm so fascinated to explore more of the world in the next book!

There were times where the pacing felt a little strange, and the writing style wasn't always my favorite, but I fell in love with the characters and the world. It was just fun, and for that it gets four stars from me! I'm excited for the next one!

**I received a copy of this book from the publisher. A positive review was not required. All opinions are my own.**
