Beneath Black Sails by Clare Sager
3.0
this was a fun book to read! definitely a quick read and far better than I anticipated! i love all things pirate and sea related. the relationship between knigh & vee is also one of my favorites! i really, really enjoyed knigh and I actually think he is the stronger character of the two. i don't typically like miscommunication tropes but this book actually did it well in my opinion, aside from the ending! however im definitely continuing the series. im hoping the plot begins to build a bit more.
in terms of plot, there were definitely some weak points. it was a quick read, a little over 300 pages so I'm not necessarily surprised it was heavy on romance, and a bit weaker on the plot. the betrayal plot was good, but the ending was a bit weak. this is the first time in a series I am NOT on the female protag side of things. mostly, because the "miscommunication" was her fault so I'm interested to see how book 2 goes.
I wish the author had tied in the secondary characters a bit more. the author attempted to set up a found family, but it felt very surface level so I'm hoping to see that further explored and developed in the next books.
I also wished that more was explained regarding vee's previous life, especially since it's brought up so frequently. but I believe there's a novella about it so I might check that out.
overall it was a fun, quick read! definitely continuing the series and I recommend if you're looking for something to get out of a slump!
