I really enjoyed this book. The plot was fresh and exciting. The reason I didn't go with 5 stars was because I personally felt like some things could have been explained more thoroughly, I struggled to figure out where everyone was positioned during the fight scenes and some of the worldbuilding was so obvious to our MC's POV that they weren't always expanded on. 
The world is a really cool concept, I liked most of the magic system, I liked the main character because she didn't feel like a generic stand-in; she was opinionated and skilled appropriately for the journey, and self-aware. 
The ending felt jumbled for me, we had been away from the starting point for so long that I couldn't remember any of the opening characters' names or roles.

Magic and pirates and mermaids, oh my! What a thrilling adventure this was! I knew I was going to love it, but wow! So exciting and fast paced!

I was captivated from the beginning! The world was beautiful and so colorfully crafted. The characters were profound and loveable and fierce, and I became attached to every one of them!

I adored the story line. I loved the magic system. The pacing was perfect, and there was plenty of action! 

I admired Amora and her morality and courage. I fell for our charming, caring pirate, Bastian. I cared for sweet, kind Ferrick, and I loved our stunning, fierce mermaid, Vataea!

This one was so good! It was breathtaking! It had some predictability to it, but it was well written and I will definitely be devouring book 2!

I absolutely loved this book. The story line was amazing and well thought out. I loved Amoras character as she was brave and fierce. Bastain was a character I loved immediately. His personality was great. However, there were lots of different types of magics and islands that it was hard to remember which was which. I 100% recommend this book and I can’t wait to read the next one!

I unfortunately feel like I might need to reread a physical copy of this cause I didn’t enjoy the audiobook narration (specifically of them doing the male voice characters). So I don’t really think I can give it a fair review or rating yet.

I admit that as a 30 year old, YA just doesn't do it for me as much anymore, but I did enjoy this! I loved this magical, nautical world that Adalyn Grace created. The main character is 18 and sheltered, so it did read a bit juvenile at times (as is expected with YA) but I admired her strength and determination to fight for her kingdom. I loved all the side characters and their dynamic, as well as the magic system which was pretty cool. I don't feel the need to run out and buy book two immediately, but I'm definitely interested enough that I do plan on reading it.
