I want to give this five stars because the main story was VERY good, and it's well-written. Unfortunately in 2025 I can't give full marks to another white-savior story (and this plot is determined to be exactly that)
Do I recommend? That's a VERY hard maybe.
None of what was in the lower deck of the admirals ship was necessary - the entire plot would have been unchanged without the gruesome and needlessly cruel images of what was down there. Similar feelings about the other related scenes in the book. Mentioning the goal of the Jade's crew is fine, but it definitely was not necessary to put the violence against black bodies on the page.
Trigger warnings abound, but if your TW list is extremely short, give it a go I suppose.
