I somehow missed the part where this wasn't a standalone. Boo. But this means more revenge and knives in part two right??

The synopsis alone has me hyped up. I'm stupidly in love with it

This was the definition of mid. Not too bad, not too good either. It was fine while I was reading it, but I'm probably not going to remember much about it.

This is a gender swapped retelling of [b:The Count of Monte Cristo|7126|The Count of Monte Cristo|Alexandre Dumas|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1309203605l/7126._SY75_.jpg|391568], which is not a story I'm familiar with so I can't speak to how well the author stuck to the original story. It was a quick read, both Amaya and Cayo are likeable and relatable characters, struggling with issues teens face today like coming to terms with their parents as complex people who don't always make the right choices. It's the first in a duelology, and though the ending of this felt a little too easy, a character who had disappeared suddenly reappears with an important job and a ship (maybe it's from the original story?), I still enjoyed this as a whole and am looking forward to the sequel.

10/10 like I loved every minute of this book and one of my perfect genres--pirates, games of deception, fantasy and a revenge story! At every cliffhanger and plot twist I was GASPING because I never could’ve guessed any of it. I would always read this again!
