I regret not reading it sooner. The lore is unique and the world is fun. The stakes aren't high compared to most books, but it's still a gripping read. I read the majority (all but 30 pages) in a single day.

Fun, light, yet adventurous all the same.

Liked the character development, characters themselves, the dredging aspect, the bonds between the characters.

Disliked lack of fantasy, its slow pace—took more than half of the book to get to the action after explaining the setting, rules and introducing characters, little character exploration despite character development, the insta  love between the mc and her love interest, the ending, how the author told most of the events rather than shown—I don’t like that pov :/ 

This is the instance where I’d prefer a longer book bc there’s so much potential for this book. But I will try the sequel and maybe the side characters books bc I’m curious about them.

If you're looking for a summer read than I recommend this book. Adventure on land and sea with a cliffhanger to boot. For about 350 pages you will understand and live the life of a pirate as well as certain rules that should never be broken. Also this has found family and friendship built on trust, but there are secrets. The world in this book was beautiful and dangerous, the plot ever expansive with a lot of adventure with some down time, and a diverse cast of characters. I didn't want this story to end, but I always have the sequel to read. I don't know if it's just me, but every time I was reading this book I had the Pirates of the Caribbean theme music going on in my head.
