Loved this more than The Broken Kingdoms series. The new realm was so unique and the next generation has a lot of legacy to live up to, and I cannot wait to hear all of their stories. The plot kept mee on my toes the whole time and I wasn't able to predict the plot twists, so I was taken aback when they were revealed. The relation between this new world and the old one is going to be so delicious.

Very Pirates of the Caribbean but with a magical fae twist. The MMC goes through a lot of growth in this one and the FMC is right there to help him through. Romance is a bit of a tense simmer that explodes in the last few chapters. It gets HOT, and keeps burning right to the end. This is my first intro to this world so I did find the world building a bit confusing (If you've read the other books from this world you may find it less confusing). It has a solid plot though, and I was able to understand enough that it was still an enjoyable read. The ending was brutal and you'll probably want to pick up the Ever Queen right after - so just go ahead and get both if you're thinking about it lol.

This was fun!! First nautical romantasy and the vibes were all there, I read this so quickly and was hooked. Loved the found family and the plot twists were twisting!! I also like the panic attack rep.

However, there were pitfalls for me. I found errors and oddly constructed sentences, things happened too conveniently or easily, and some scenes were anticlimactic. I wished the first book also had a glossary because there’s quite a number of characters and powers you need to wrap your head around. 

There is one line I absolutely love tho: “hate me all you want, but don’t regret me.” SCREAMING!!!! 

Still ate it up but I don’t think this will be for everyone, unless you mainly love the romance aspect of a romantasy.

The pirate/viking/fae cultures felt really unique! I wasn’t sure I’d be into it at first but I was pleasantly surprised. 

Livia and Erik’s dialogue was fun too. 

That ending was brutal and I’m beyond thankful I don’t have to wait to see what happens next. 

A bit slow in some parts but not for long, and some of the more earnest dialogue was a little flowery for my tastes. That said, I was overall pretty gripped by the story the whole time and the love story was pretty swoon worthy and fairly satisfying!

Loved the world building, it was detailed and clear and mystical without feeling too overbearing/too much info to take in. Adored Erik & Livia and all the side characters brought so much more to the story. Such a great start to the series. A good mix between plot and spice as well, it didn’t take away from the story.
