Tolles world building mit viel Potenzial und sehr schön beschriebene Atmosphäre und Umgebung. Die Geschichte ist für mich jedoch etwas flach und hat nicht viele spannungspunkte.

4.5

Spannung pur..

Das Buch war klasse und ich fand die Geschichte super fesselnd und die Charaktere waren auch super. Freue mich auf die Fortsetzung ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

It started off well enough. A little confusing because it lacked world building but after a while I found my way. My problem wasn't the writing style either. I got the story easily enough. But the way it unfolded... Most twists I saw coming from a mile away and I'm sorry to say this but Mira (I literally just closed the book and her name is already one I needed to look up) is dumb (Trusting someone just because this person told you that you could? Thathad me laugh out loud.) and otherwise simply 'flat'. I don't know how else to describe it. She just stayed on the page and when I wasn't mad about her being dumb,I just didn't care. No character made me root for them and the only one to spark a little interest was Elijah. If there will be a second book (the ending kind of implied there's more story to be told), I won't be reading it. But if you like stories playing out on the sea with a side of magic, just try if this one is for you!
