What an amazing story in this epic series. There were quite a few surprises for me. Allies that turned out to be traitors, enemies that were really allies & the surprising re-emergence of a character thought to be missing. Sullivan’s writing is right on point & does a great job with story & character development.

Graphic Audio does a superb job (as usual) bringing this book to life.

Sullivan just can’t help but kill a beloved character right at the end every time!! Brilliant as usual.

Just what's up with all the mediocre books with outstanding endings... *sigh*

Erneut hat mich die Komplexität der Welt und der Handlung überrascht. Immer mehr Fäden ziehen sich zusammen, aber es werden auch neue Spuren ausgelegt. Nichts ist wirklich, wie es scheint. Trotzdem gibt es auch immer wieder lockere Szenen, die die unterdessen eher düstere Grundhandlung auflockern. Das Buch hat sich erneut wie nichts weggelesen und ich bin definitiv schon gespannt, wie sich das Ganze in den nächsten Bänden noch entwickeln wird.

The best of the series so far!

I'm a sucker for any time the emcees find themselves seafaring when they aren't pirates of seamen by trade. It's one of my favorite fantasy tropes <3

The oscillation between POV's was done extremely well in the back half of this book - and was the primary reason it felt impossible to put down.

We had group 1 (Royce, Hadrian, Wyatt, and the other seamen) as they journeyed across the sea and into the jungle and the group 2 (Amilia, Arista, and Modina) as they navigate their own, and no less dangerous, troubled waters. On the group 1 side we get a plot and action driven sequence that's entertaining and on the group side we get a character driven story of resilience, growth, and friendship that is incredibly satisfying.
