The pirate/viking/fae cultures felt really unique! I wasn’t sure I’d be into it at first but I was pleasantly surprised. 

Livia and Erik’s dialogue was fun too. 

That ending was brutal and I’m beyond thankful I don’t have to wait to see what happens next. 

A bit slow in some parts but not for long, and some of the more earnest dialogue was a little flowery for my tastes. That said, I was overall pretty gripped by the story the whole time and the love story was pretty swoon worthy and fairly satisfying!

The world building was so confusing at times. Erik would say they shouldn't share important info with anyone and then share said info with everyone a chapter later? Overall I liked them together, the writing style is just not my favourite.
