It took me a few days to get through this book, but overall I really enjoyed it. The themes it explored (love, gender, etc.) were enjoyable in a simplistic way (aka pretty surface level stuff). I also really liked the characters, though I felt the author moved on from some of them fairly quickly. I LOVED Lady Ayer's character. I'd definitely recommend this read if you like fantasy, pirates, magic, and queer young love.
