caitcoy's review against another edition
This feels like the kind of fun, over the top adventure that I really should love as someone who enjoys a bit of silliness and historical romance. Unfortunately, as much as I appreciate some of the jokes and the pirate lady society, it just comes across as somehow a little too silly for me. The jokes are so constant and at no point does it ever take itself seriously, which is clearly just the tone of the book. As much as I want to love this, even the romance is starting to annoy me so I'm finally accepting it's not for me.
If you want an adventure that really doesn't take itself seriously but honestly is rather clever about some of the jokes and is really just out for a fun time, you might give it a shot and see if it works better for you than me.

What a fun whirlwind of a read. Loved the world building and matriarchal hierarchy, fun to read something refreshing

This book was so ridiculous. I enjoyed the gimmicks in the beginning but by the middle and end of the story, they felt old and repetitive to me. I do think the concept was absolutely unique and interesting and the author did the best she possibly could do with this story and the world. The instalove was a little annoying too. I’m not sure if I’m going to continue the series, but I might give the next book a try.
