radka_reads 's review for:
of the Stars and Sea
by Brianna Remus
adventurous
lighthearted
slow-paced
I received an ARC of this book and I am leaning an honest review.
I very much enjoyed reading this book. It caught me right at the beginning when it jumped straight into action and I kept wanting to go back to reading to find out what happens next with Rowenya and Grayson.
The story has beautiful poetic language and I especially appreciated how a lot of the metaphors and similes have something to do with the sea and water. It was so clever since it’s written from the point of view of the FMC who is a pirate.
The chemistry between the main characters is working its magic; you can feel the tension, the attraction, the works. Some of the dialogue between them early in the book seemed a little cringe, but later their banter is funny and sexy.
Unfortunately, we didn’t get to see much magic on the page. It is supposed to be a magical world full of different magical creatures but they’re mostly mentioned or appear very briefly in the story. Some hints about Grayson’s magic are there and I have some theories about who he is (which I will keep to myself).
There is one more thing that was bugging me, and that was all the euphemisms for vagina. Just call it what it is, you don’t need to give it special names, it’s not your pet.
Overall, it was a great book and I would definitely read the next book in the series to find out what else had the author in her sleeve for these two!
