I'm gonna be real: I finished this book less than half an hour ago and already I've forgotten most of it, so this isn't going to be a proper review.

I was hyped for this book. It had good reviews, and it was about sapphic pirates and monster breeding. But it turned out to be a steaming pile of garbage. Here are a couple thoughts:
- The author has no idea how piracy works
- And judging by other reviews, no idea how marine biology works either
- The characters are boring and I've seen them all before
- Even with pirates, there's no attempt at grey morality. People are either good or bad
- The plot is really interesting but the writing makes it seem as boring as watching paint dry
- I don't think the Reckoner's were ever properly described because I had no idea what I was meant to be visualising the whole time
- The romance was dull and undeveloped
- The action scenes kind of didn't make sense, and when they did they were boring

Overall, this book was super boring and full of so much unrealised potential it makes me angry
