Thank you to Netgalley and the Publisher for providing me with a copy of this book.

This... was a wild ride. There was darkness and light and hate and love and I adored every second I read this book.

First of all, the story is so brilliantly structured. Without wanting to spoil too much, it is fantastic how the events always relate to the part they are set in. Especially because we start out on a pirate ship and we end on a pirate ship and it just feels as thought the story has come full circle. Absolute master piece.

The different POV's are everything. I love when books offer different POV's, but often it's difficult to keep the voices apart. Even if I would have put the book down for a day in the middle of a chapter, I would have immediately known whose voice I was reading and that was phenomenal.

I immediately fell in love with the characters (well, the important ones anyway) and they were so loveable but flawed and it is everything I need from a well rounded character and story. The diversity - not only racial but also sexuality and gender wise was great and I loved seeing a non-binary/female love story in this.

I just can implore everyone to read this book. It is absolutely brilliant and if you like fantasy, you will adore this with all your heart. There are some darker moments in here but hey, it's a story about pirates. What do we expect?

This book couldn't be anything other but five stars for me.
