A review by jmbq_reads
The Heiress at Sea by Christi Caldwell

3.0

The story line was trope-heavy, which I don't mind and can really enjoy, but I was really surprised Lady Cassia didn't get thrown off the "boat" sooner. For someone who bills herself as so unremarkable and average, she certainly ranked well above average in prattling and well below average in ACTUALLY LISTENING. Dear God, you throw yourself into a completely unknown situation and then proceed to tell all the people who hold authority over you that they are wrong? Mind you, Nathaniel was not great at communicating either, given his expectation to be instantly obeyed as captain, but yikes.

The writing style also had a tendency to pull me out of the story, which didn't help. Overall, a big floating disappointment. 2.5 stars rounded up.

Thank you, Montlake and NetGalley, for providing an eARC of this book. Opinions expressed here are solely my own.
