On Stranger Tides by Tim Powers
4.5
adventurous emotional funny informative inspiring mysterious tense medium-paced

Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: No

It would be 5 stars if Elizabeth had some agency and wasn't dazed/unconscious entire book waiting for our MC to save her. Otherwise if you looking for pirates, naval battles, swashbuckling you'll find it here.
