This was an easy read and set in an interesting world. However, the relationships, especially the main love story, were just not healthy. I can't say there have been many books where I have been rooting for the main couple to break up, but I feel like they probably should have.

Good to revisit Fable and West and Saint and the various members of this nautical world. Easy, comfortable story telling that simply washes over oneself with a few surprises thrown in along the way. No cliffhangers with this second book, thankfully.

I quite enjoyed the conclusion of the story in this one. I was brought along for all the ups, downs, twists, and turns that led to the final scene.

The series is fine. It's cute and perfect for YA because everything wraps up very nicely (and it moves fast). Entertaining if you need a distraction. It would make a fantastic gift for an early teen.

Such a beautiful and wonderful book! It's set up in a way that the story could continue, but also it can end right where it is. Just as amazing as the first book with just as beautiful of a cover!

I honestly can't say a ton without spoiling anything from the first book, but this is definitely a duology I recommend!

The genre would be fantasy but with a historical kind of feel to it. If you love books about sea adventures and beautiful gems with strong female characters, then this book is for you!
