Corsairs: Kaspar by Ruby Dixon
Did not finish book. Stopped at 41%.

i just really wasnt enjoying this. the nickname “sunshine” annoyed me and felt forced. i didnt like when alice grabbed his tail, and it frustrated me that kaspar kept lying to her

thanks to netgalley & the publisher for an arc!!!

i thought this was a pretty good book. i liked the start of their romance, and i was especially invested in the second half. i just did not like june as much as i wanted to. i found her to be really selfish, and while she did grow, i just didnt feel like she adequately apologized for or acknowledged the pain she caused. some of the references and phrases that were very modern weren’t my favorite either, because i think they will put too much of a timestamp on the book and make less accessible to readers years in the future.
