Umm, excuse me! Ma'am! I need book two TODAY, please. What the eff just happened?! You can't just leave me like this! This is cruel and unusual punishment. I'll take 20!
This story follows Brynn, an orphan girl training to join the guard of a seafaring kingdom. She's struggled to fit in her whole life, so she's determined to make a name for herself in the guard. That is, until the rug is pulled out from under her, and everything she believes to be true is flipped upside-down.
Throughout the book, it's difficult to get a gauge on Brynn's feelings and motives. She is fighting within herself to pick the right path forward in an unfamiliar setting with unlikely companions. It's hard to answer who she is and what she wants because SHE isn't clear on who she is or what she wants. Brynn is a very unreliable narrator because of this. But, I love a suspicious black-cat FMC.
I went into this book completely blind, like didn't even read the synopsis, blind. When I literally could not put this book down, I knew I was hooked. It's such a unassuming and easy read to get into that I didn't expect the subtly and depth.
The second those toesies touched dry land! Oh boy, does chaos reign! There were tense moments, sweet moments, funny moments, and all kinds of subtle world building without feeling info dumpy.
I love the characters and can't wait to see what they get up to next. Give me all that yummy tension and character growth! Ma'am, the whiskey glass! 💋🤌✨️
I loved it. I loved the journey. I need book two.
*P.S. In case you don't understand that I loved this book. I finished it in two days, then spent a whole dang day ranting about it to @kaylagetsbookish while GOING BACK to RE-READ large portions of the book to look for breadcrumbs about the ending!!!
