Oathbound by Victoria McCombs
3.0
Oathbound is the first book of The Royal Rose Chronicles. It follows the POVs of the two main characters, Esme, a pirate's daughter who wants nothing to do with that life, and Arn, her friend who happens to be a pirate.
The story is written with loads of beautiful narrations, lush descriptions and just the right pirate-like atmosphere. The main characters are enjoyable to boot, and their adventures were enjoyable and plenty. However, some of their reactions and decisions were questionable. The twists, in the end, were predictable as well.
Nevertheless, and even though the romance is lukewarm and overplayed the game of will-they-won't-they, the book has a fast pace and a compelling story that will have me coming back to read the sequel.
