of the Stars and Sea by Brianna Remus

4.5

---

This was an action-packed pirate romantasy with an immortal MMC and a FMC in her thirties that I couldn't put down! I wanted a LOT more worldbuilding/magick explanations and more details of characters' backstories, though the pirate/ship parts felt pretty authentic from what I could tell. There were a few typos that took me out of the story, though they were minor. I did appreciate that the spice was obvious enough that it could be easily skipped, and the ending was very bold - definitely setting up the next book in the series. There were a few lines, especially from the MMC to the FMC, that felt intentionally placed to be highlighted rather than natural dialogue, but I almost didn't mind.  Overall, I enjoyed this a lot and would definitely recommend to people who want to live out an explosive pirate fantasy!

I was lucky enough to receive an ARC in exchange for an unbiased review.
