Great and intriguing book that had many small twists and turns. 4.5 only for the lack of diversity especially in a pirate themed book, which we all know gives many chances for diverse characters.

This was very much a YA book LOL. A 17-year-old is the captain of a pirate ship on a quest. Throughout this book, you discover if she will complete the quest or die trying. This is a solid female lead character, but I felt it was missing cannon fights and the cliche plank walking. 

There is one part just past the 50% mark that made my head swivel because it was thrown in there, and random

Spoiler

SHE IS A SIREN PIRATE?! I did not know that those two things could go together

 

I saw that this was her debut book, so I gave her a little grace because I didn't hate it and finished it fairly quickly. If she ever did a sequel, I think it would be much better to continue building the story.

For this book i just wanted a quick and fun boom to read. It was a one plus for having the strong female lead. I absolutely had fun reading it and just enjoyed myself. I didn't try to analyze it or anything I just found it fun.
