This book is a page turner, and I was pretty rapt to the book. However, I don’t think I enjoyed it that much? I barely remember what happened in the middle of this book. And by the end I more just wanted to finish the book than find out what happened. Also, at the end the author just kept on leaving out the big reveals, which felt like a lazy way to write a cliff hanger… if the character we are reading about finds something out … tell the reader too? Instead the author would just jump to another group of characters and leave the reader confused. The language was too flowery/descriptive and I just wasn’t a fan. But if you are just looking for an easy page turner/mystery then this may be a good one.

Early on I thought this would be a 4 star book, but by the end I would have given it a million stars. There is quite a lot of vulgarity which I could have done without, and it is often unnecessarily flowery with the language, but the story more than makes up for these. This is a looooong book, but so worth it. So many twists and turns and yet every surprise feels fully earned. The author leaves little details that seem like nothing but when the surprise happens, you wonder how you didn’t see it. A beautiful, mysterious, crime, coming of age, love story, thriller - genre defying novel about a pirate and a beekeeper.
