What an amazing Debut novel. Not only did it serve amazing fantasy and romance, it also had a whole lot of diversity. I was expecting a purely straight plot but boy was I wrong.

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗣𝗹𝗼𝘁 📝 Sinner's Isle is set in a world where women with power, the Majestic's, are seen as witches and kept as Sinner's on Sinner's Isle. Every year they host the Offering, the men who pay the highest amount of money get to buy and bind a Majestic to them. They have the chance to tie her power to their soul and basically control them, without them being able to resist or kill the man. This plot was horrifying to imagine and it was even more horrible to feel within the book. The main plot however is about the love story between the Majestic Rosa and the Prince of Pirates Mariano. They have to fight against all odds to be able to escape the Offering before Rosa is bound to another. Reading their love story truly felt like an adventure and it brought tears to my eyes on multiple occasions. The Plot was so good. Truly amazing. Rosa wanting to flee the island with her best friend because she doesn't want to get bound to a man she doesn't love added so much intensity to the novel. 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗖𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘀 👥 As I mentioned before, there is so much love and diversity! I was not expecting that many lgbtqia+ relations and how amazing it was written. Love was written as almost unimportant as to who you love because love is the most important thing. Obviously the Offering was limited as to a man buying a woman but apart from that love was just love. It did not matter if a woman loved a woman or a man loved a man and I absolutely loved this. This book felt so welcoming and like an open hug to everyone who reads it. The characters themselves, apart from the horrible ones, were written so well, I loved everyone and I chuckled on multiple occasions because of my favorite character: Santi. I would definitely want to be his friend. 𝗪𝗵𝘆 5 𝗦𝘁𝗮𝗿𝘀? ⭐ I don't think I have to say more: This book felt like home and I would give it unlimited Stars if I could. I read 200+ pages in one sitting and I usually never do that, this book however made me want to finish it. Now I'm a bit sad because I'm done but it was a magnificent experience.

Ich fand die spanische Atmosphäre total schön. Außerdem Liebe ich Hexen und Piraten über alles, was mein Größter Sellingpoint für das Buch war. Und die Art und Weise wie die Beziehung dargestellt ist war super überzeugend für mich. Besonders im Bezug zu ihrer beiden Voergeschichten und wie sie mit der Tatsache umgehen, dass sie zusammen sein wollen. Ich habe schon irgendwie die Nase voll von Charakteren mit Schatten Kräften, es gibt einfach immer mehr davon und ich finde meistens ist das eine billige Art und Weise Charaktere edgy zu gestalten. In diesem Buch fand ich die Schatten aber ganz okay weil sie viel mit ihrer persönlichen Entwicklung zu tun haben. Santi wird für immer mein Herz haben.
