such a good fantasy read. i would highly recommend for ages 15 and above. please check the content warnings before reading though. it might be too overwhelming for some people. i would not recommend this book as like the very first book you read as a teen. start with something more lighthearted and easy to read. read this after like 5 different books or so. its a really good book for getting into fantasy though!
(the content warnings i've put is for both the first and second book of this duology)

I kind of like that Tricia Levenseller is not scared of killing of characters but it just isn't that impactful if you don't have much sympathy for the characters.
Even the main characters are not that 3 dimensional and I didn't feel for them much. I did like their characteristics and the dynamic between the characters (I'm always a big fan of strong female friendship and female leaders). Still I felt like reading a story about these characters which I enjoyed but I didn't feel their pain at a betrayal at all. I just felt very distant.
The part I liked was that it kind of felt like a female Odyssee. The dynamic on the ship was really fun to read about as were the challenges they had to overcome.
The main character was really oblivious sometimes and some of the relationships felt forced and strange to me.
All in all I know that there are people who will probably love this book immensely but it just wasn't it for me.
! Also I was sick while reading this book so that might have impacted reading experience.
