- Strong character development? It's complicated
3.75
Ultimately, I just disliked Samuel, one of the main POVs of this book. Because it’s the first book in a series, I’ll give Long the benefit of the doubt. This could be laying the foundations for an incredible villain arc. But it just didn’t hit in this book. I felt like the relationships between the characters were underdeveloped, and it was just missing some of the pirate charm that I expected.

Character development is simply not there. I had to create rhymes in my head to tell the male characters apart. The FMC also kind of has chemistry with three of them the only way you know she’s supposed to be interested in Charles by the end is because he’s the other POV. The audiobook was fine, not terrible. May or may not continue the series.
