Ship of Shadows by Tee Harlowe
5.0
I am eating these retellings/reimaginings all the way up. Ship of Shadows is exactly what you think it will be, our dear ol Captain "Hook", Pirate Lord Bastian. And if you never heard the conspiracy of "Hook" being the good guy and "Pan" being the bad guy, well let this book be your intro into this world. Does our dear sexy pirate take our boys off to Neverland? Yes. Does he have a good reason for it, or is he just evil? You'll have to read and find out.
But the way this book tugged at my damn heart strings as I was nearing the end and damn near had me in tears. The way this man worships Gabrielle and would absolutely sacrifice himself for her and she for him and her people is just beautiful. There's a lot of raw emotion and heavy bretayal in this one and I just really hits you deep. I might be all over the place with this review but just bare with me. The banter between our dear pirate lord and princess is delicious. Bastian's slick tongue? The way he just eggs her on, his hot and cold nature... But it's so clear to see that this man would go to the absolute end of the world for her. But let's get one thing clear, our dear princess is not a damsel in distress, although she is a lil reckless and finds herself in difficult situations. Anyways, all this to say that you should read this damn book because it amazing.
Also I cant forget our dear Driscoll, I absolutely love him. The perfect amount of comedy to even out the the trauma that you go thru. I can't wait to see more of him and watch his character develope and grow as this series continues.
