Love the writing style of Lou and the worlds created by her so much! And I enjoyed this book just like the other ones I've read so far by Lou Wilham.
There is a sharp distinction between humans and a wide variety of magical creatures like goblins, unicorns, seers, etc. And humans capture the magical ones and treat them very poorly. Our main character is a Seer called Persinette who is forced to work for them since she was a child and the other main character is a pirate captain named of the rebels named Manu Kelii. I did not like Persi much yet I absolutely adored Manu Kelii and his family/crew.
The first 3/4 of the book was too slow for me. I sincerely even thought that might be a 0.5th book instead of the first book in the series yet the last quarter was better at pace and gave me mostly what I wanted. That and the fact that there are several parts I found utterly unlogical. And also there is another character named Agnes and I feel the lack of his POV deeply. So these are the reasons why I decided not to give it a five star.
Will definitely continue the series both because of THAT ENDING and I wanna, nope slash that, I NEED to know what will happen next!
