The first few pages turned me off however I picked it up again and didn’t regret it.
The world idea is very fascinating and this short story could provide an entry into a whole new fantasy series. The lack of land and classist society of Vikings and pirates is a readers dream.
Character wise Aro is an ass, Margot seems naive changing her whole unquestionable view of the world in just a day, and Kiona who makes their flaws okay by being cool, charismatic, and just such a nice person, I just love her. (I also feel Margots feelings for Kiona may not just be friendship?)
It was very fast paced and the ending rushed however given its size, that’s very understandable. However expanding on this book would make it so much better but again it’s a short story so that doesn’t go into its judgement.
I like it and hope for future novels set in this universe.
