per my spreadsheet:

this was my first katee robert book and it did not disappoint. i love a good pirate book, and the spice was fun. the way it reads gave me anime vibes

the lower ratings on this book are wild to me. its a fun little book and i'm ready for more of this world.

spice 🌶  - a 4 🌶  spicy (romance.io scale)
length - just right
reading speed - read in 2 days
did it make me cry? - no

If you are a big fan of One Piece, Dungeons and Dragons, and multiverses, you will love this book. This book reads like anime, and it's great but also not quite my thing, and I review based on personal enjoyment. The book is fun and we love an anti-c*pag@nda story!! We love many characters with neopronouns!!

Like a few books I've read this year, this had an amazing premise but fell well short of expectations when it came to worldbuilding, character arcs, and the development of the main characters' relationship. The romantic leads were instantly and wildly attracted to each other and the sex scenes veered between generic and absurd. 

Rounded up to just under 2 stars, since the plot involved the characters questioning authority and fighting a corrupt system, and at least the book synopsis actually matched the contents of the book.
