Daughter of the Pirate King by Tricia Levenseller

Did not finish book. Stopped at 5%.

can't get past chapter 1, sorry

Did not finish book. Stopped at 12%.

wasn't really feeling the writing style, also didn't help that it was said to have the same humor with gideon the ninth, so i kinda expected more. maybe i'll try again next time

the question asked was: what if you're a mermaid and i am a thief and i lure evil men to your river so you could eat them and i could take their money

a very engaging and quick read! it's important to note, though, that this is not a romance—it's more of a character arc/coming of age story. would've liked it better if laria's realization and change of mind towards the end were explained much longer, because the resolution felt abrupt for me.

i've always been fascinated by space travel—more by the idea of it rather than the technicalities, and while i admit that oftentimes the terms in a sci fiction get lost to me, i found myself devouring everything ariadne said in this letter-like/travel-diary novella. i am not the biggest fan of science textbooks from our school, but i loved learning about some areas of the subject in here. a bonus because the whole crew exploration of exoplanets reminded me of interstellar and the martian, topped with reflections of humanity and humility. and the question ariadne left hanging towards the end about how we would view their contributions as astronauts—are all they did just an unwanted and wasteful research to us? do we really care?— was bittersweet and hard-hitting, because even though i said that i am fascinated about space exploration, i, too, have mixed feelings about its necessity on the whole. i really wished my teachers taught chemistry as great and approachable as chambers explained chirality
