The execution of the story especially the writing and word usage, however, left a lot to be desired. At times I felt like the author was trying too hard for it to be a pirate theme, and it was just…too much. It made the language feel stilted and unwieldy. At times, I was just like, pick one speech pattern and stick with it. I’m not sure if this author uses a professional editor or not, but it could have used it.
The darker elements felt kind of awkward to me as well. I don’t know. It was fun, but I was overall fairly disappointed in the book.

I wish there was a bit more emphasis or building on Marrens 10year gap in the story which we know was a large issue in her marriage with Aerik. But if that gap was worth her literally ending his life, I think it’s worth exploring in the novel!
The spice scenes were okay- they come off a little “rapey” in nature, but the author does issue a trigger warning for such. After all is it DARK romantasy.
All in all I did enjoy the book- I think the author does a great job at bringing the reader to the location and writes with vivid imagery. The book was entertaining for me enough to get through in only a few days. Fans of this genre and pirates of the Caribbean will absolutely love this book.

4.25
Overall I rated this book 4.25 as there were some parts that were a tiny bit dragging for me while 90% of the book was so amazing!
I have so much thoughts I apologize as early as now if this will be chaotic!
I wished Nerissa had a lot more time in the story because I honestly ended up loving her! She’s my top 3 badass female from this book, yes I know there are just 3 girls but it’s my opinion.
I loved Sam so much and girl WHY?!?!?!?!? I thought after what happened to Henry we will be done with the deaths. 😭😭😭
This story did not hesitate to bring us death, gore & monsters and it was not a tame version of any of the 3 themes.
I of course loved Ramsey and Meren and how their enemies to lovers story unfolded and that fucking Nill came through in the end!
Spice: 3.5/5
>these 2 can go at it ANYWHERE!
> the number of times Ramsey went on his knees! Deymmmmm!!
> the sand?
