Great prologue and start with mind-boggling, rich world-building, interesting characters and New Zealand slang, but then, around the 40-45% mark, it all sort-of crumbled into a confusing pile of plot.

I enjoyed this book and the themes were great but also struggled to fully understand everything that was going on. Might just be more fast paced / intense world building than I'm used to. I look forward to reading the second book.

Loved the characters and the prose, really interesting world. But the pacing felt off. there was so much set go to get onto the pirate ship and then that felt like just fizzled out? we built to this big confrontation and then bam, the world is saved? just a little bit of a lack of follow through on some of these big scenes
