⚔️ My thoughts
The side characters took more of a lead on this one, and I loved to see it. This one was definitely more gory than the first. It had a darker tone than the first and this tone continues darker as the series continues.
⚔️ You know how every fantasy series has a book where everything in the world that can go wrong, goes WRONG? That is this book.
⚔️ The first chapter was INCREDIBLE. and I felt so many feelings. 😭😭😭😭😭. And the rest of the book was a good time too! I felt like it was slow paced- similar to the first book- but I really enjoyed the vibes of this one. The sea, the monsters, the fae, and of course the PIRATES.
⚔️There are several romance plot lines and I wanted a bit more out of one of the couples. I struggle with soul mates and instalove and this book did have that for sure.
Overall, I still enjoyed this one for all the vibes.
Note- fade to black / vague details ; some language
