This is my first ever Netgalley read, and boy am I glad this is the first book I requested. Pirates (on sea) have always been a topic I really enjoyed, but sky pirates might just top it now.
I love the way the book is written. The writing style makes it feel like I am not only reading the book, but I'm actually there with the Trench crew as my own person, especially as the point of view isn't solely focused on Grey, the crew's captain, but on everyone quite equally. I also absolutely love the humorous language.
This book is about a sky pirate crew who are tasked by an immortal to help to find the seven stones of Indigo for a hefty sum of 1 million credits per stone. As the crew sets out to find the first stone, they are faced with a multitude of tasks and problems. with plot twists at every corner.
I do feel like at some points the book felt a bit dragged out, but not enough to make the book any less enjoyable.
