Pirates, romance, magic, and swashbuckling action? What’s not to like about Beneath Black Sails?
I had a lot of fun with this read. I just ordered this author’s major hit and didn’t even realize I was already reading a book by her! Overall, I’m pleased and excited to read more of her work.
I really liked our FMC in this book. She’s fierce, powerful, and kind. Vice is also sexy and sex positive. This was refreshing as I feel like I’ve had a streak of blushing violets recently. Not that spice was the main focus of this book, we had one main spicy scene. Which is perfect for me.
I also liked Knigh’s character. I liked that his character was so wound right, a rule follower not a bad boy, and enjoyed seeing him come to terms with the fact that his strong moral compass can also lead him astray.
There was some great betray in this book and while it was predictable it still brought me to tears while I anticipated it’s buildup. I can’t wait for the groveling!
I hope we get to see more of the side characters develops in the next book as I enjoyed the glimpses we got. I’m also interested to see how the world building continues. There are a few side plots I’m interested in seeing develope. I think we will have some real villains come into play in the next few books.
Can’t wait!
