Dark Water Daughter was a pleasant entry into pirate fantasy. The plot here was really engaging and quick-paced, the world was well-constructed, and all the characters were dynamic and unique. The magic system is concise and just "undiscovered" enough for there to be a compelling element of mystery for it to be really interesting. I felt like the ending of this book concluded very tidily: Long leaves threads open to continue the story, but I liked that there wasn’t a glaring overhang of things that needed to be addressed in a second installment.
