Queer pirates for the win! I really enjoyed this, but I kind of wish there had been more adventures at sea and fewer on land. But that's just me.

This felt like a slow build up of action that was resolved rather quickly in the end. At one point I wondered if this was going to end in a cliffhanger because it was getting very close to the end and we still hadn't gotten to the pinnacle yet! But we got there and the resolution was very satisfying.

I hope we get to see more from these characters in the future, but I don't know if that's in the cards.

The audio, narrated by Vico Ortiz, was a delight.
