I really enjoyed this book. A dark new take on the 12 dancing princesses x Swan Lake. Definitely keen to read the next book.

Only thing I didn’t love was that the main characters travel to the fae world every full moon so basically the book takes place over a year but it like skips to next full moon each chapter give or take? I felt like this was a bit frustrating as reader as lots of nothing happens in between waiting for full moon.

It took me a little bit to get into this book but by the middle I was hooked!! Oh dear, pirate joke already hehe. I had heard lots of good reviews for this spicy pirate romantasy and they didn’t let me down!

I listened to the book on audible using a credit and personally I didn’t love either of the narrators. Will Thorne’s voice definitely gave pirate vibes, whereas Lucy rivers was just definitely not the right fit for this book. She has very instalove voice and I just didn’t feel like it fit the character she was reading? And it sounded disjointed the way she would read the male point of view compared to when will read his pov.

Tbh I am unsure if I would have actually rated this book a five star read if I read the book instead of listening to audiobook.
