There is almost NO fantasy elements to this book. The only thing that mentions magic or mystical things is the pirate captain’s map tattoo.

It was so interesting to see the before tog starts. I feel like this is a far better start than tog. Sam’s character was fine, but I don’t think he would have been anything special if he had lived. It would have been the run of a mill romance type situation… I don’t think that has much competition to fared mates. We will see how much he comes up and how he ties in. I remember him being talked about. 

It was good to see the characters that seemed to come from no where to help in the end. It makes way more sense now.
