I really enjoyed the world building in this one, this is a book that is very focused on adventures over the seas and naval battles

The imaginative dynamics of the ships and the different ranks really add to the story, it’s full of detail that makes it stand out from other sea based fantasy books and it really makes you feel immersed in the world

It has a slowish start and the main plot doesn’t kick in until around a 1/3 of the way through and there is a learning curve at the start trying to get to grips with what is happening

There isn’t much magic in this one, if you love all things magical then you may find this lacking slightly but there are, obviously, dragons which I think makes up for it

There’s some great characters here too, each one is really quite well written

It leaves a few unanswered questions but thankfully it’s a completed trilogy so you can dive straight back in
