To give a review without spoilers, in the vaguest sense: This is a book about two people finding each other on the seas, and fall in love despite everything. I found this book pretty emotional, which surprised me, and there are some darker themes. It presents as a gritty yet emotional story. In part of sailing the seas, in part of the tension between places, and also of the mythology of this world.
