Marem has regretted the choice made as a 16yo, giving up her legs for someone who fell in lust with a beautiful and mute girl. But when the pair are kidnapped by pirates, maybe Marem can escape her husband.
I thought this book was about fifty pages too long, but overall I loved Marem. She just wants to be safe and loved, but she doesn’t shy from her rage. I love a fully-formed female main character, especially one who eventually manages to find herself.

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.
