One of my favorite books of all time! There were many things I adored about this; the romance, the main characters, the adventure across the sea, and even some of the side characters. I love the representation and diversity throughout the cast, and the fact that there different genders/sexualities are not the main focus of their struggles. They exist in the space just as any other character does. I loved the writing and storing telling, it was fast paced but not too fast that it would leave your head spinning. I personally liked the many pov's throughout the book. It helped provided more than just one perspective on the situations, and helped the reader get to know those characters and their motivations more. It adds depth. Over all, loved it!
