Riden was fairly enjoyable for our lead male character. His backstory was pretty interesting and I liked how well he and Alosa played off each other. My biggest complaint is how their relationship was kind of insta-lovey and a little too sappy for my tastes. It really didn't build the kind of tension I'd expect for an "enemies to lovers" story. The rest of the characters were ok. While some were given quirks or other easily identifiable traits, most were rather basic.
While I get that the setting for this story is largely based on the Golden Age of Piracy, the world building was somewhat lacking. There were a few intriguing elements introduced towards the end and possibly more to come in the sequel, but I definitely wanted more here.
So yeah, it was a fun way to spend a few hours but nothing life changing.
