The romance in this one was captivating, and I enjoyed reading it but I think that was mostly what I enjoyed about this book. I mean, you're giving me queer pirates!!
The world-building left me a bit confused especially when it came to the magic system. I feel like a lot of it was just glossed over and there could have been an extra chapter or two invested in explaining or showing more of it. But I believe there's either a sequel or companion novel to this story in the works and I would definitely recommend this book and will give the next one a read for sure.
