adventurous
- Diverse cast of characters? Yes
3.75
Having read the book now, I think the comparison to The Princess Bride holds up, specifically in the tone of the story (along with certain plot points). Unfortunately, I wasn’t as sold on the romance. But other aspects of the story were certainly compelling: the piracy, the spores and the sprouting, the secret king’s assassin, the zombie. Fun read overall.
Moderate: Gore, Kidnapping, Murder, Trafficking, Blood, and Violence
Minor: Classism, Fatphobia, Ableism, and Excrement
