My Thoughts

Now this type of book is not one I’d usually choose for myself (I’m usually a big lusty romantasy fan) however, this book defied all of my usual tastes and took me on a seaward journey.

I have 2 words for you.
Pirates.
Submarines.
(Yes, you heard me right you salty seadog.)

This book was everything I didn’t know I wanted to read, it has a charming MMC with a mission, trying to protect everything he cares for. The journey they take in this book is a mass of sea, plunder, and strength.

There are so many different elements that I didn’t expect to pair well together, that somehow just did.
I was left wanting more!
The characters were well defined and enjoyable to read, I particularly liked Captain Diamedes. A huge insufferable git, but entirely dedicated to his plundering selfish ways.

The book held my attention from start to finish, I don’t know much about submarines or sailing, but the book was detailed enough for me to at least pretend I understood what they were doing.
I could picture it in my head clear as day, even if I had no clue which part was what, or what these sailing terms meant.

Thank you for giving me a chance to step out of my comfort zone by providing me with this book.
I will have to make it a habit to not judge books by lack of romance in future, because I feel fantasy adventure has a lot to offer.
Not everything requires smut after all.

I found it entertaining and I only wish it had been longer.
Then again, I always wish good books were longer..

I recommend to all my fantasy reading friends.
Take a walk on the wild side and have a break from smutty fae books for a change.
