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!
