“Leander and I both glance at the bed at the same time, and even though we made a point of it when we rented the room, there’s still a long, long pause as we think about those words. The bed. Just the one.”
I was worried when I started this book because there are so many POVs. It was hard to keep track of everyone, but I'm so glad I stuck with it. The full cast audio was so well done!
This book has some of my favorite plot points: women sailors/pirates, interesting magic system, realistic romance, high stakes! I can't wait for book 2.

All the pov sounds the same and since its all in first person pov you can’t really tell who’s who since they all have the same personality

Wow. I walked into this book a little unsure, but wow. I could not put this book down, it sucked me in. I really enjoyed the different POVs because it added so many layers to the story and the world because they all had very distinct backgrounds and upbringings and flaws. But I appreciated that the events were kept between two sides. So like three of the narrators were always together and the other two were together. But the multiple POVs work because of this quote the story starts and ends with: “Everyone tells the same story different ways. And the only version we’re the hero of is our own.” By the way, Leander was my favorite. I liked all the narrators, but Leander is my favorite kind of book boyfriend. You know, the ones with an overly inflated ego that can’t fathom anyone not liking them, haha.
Overall, I am definitely going to be recommending this story. Between having a prince in disguise, a sailor, a scholar, a mobster, and a bruiser, all working to stop or encourage another great gods war, this story was truly entertaining and will have your heart racing.

Full cast audio.
I enjoyed the Norse/sea-faring world and the multiple POVs always keep the action rolling. Another good story from Kaufman
