Sooooo glad I was able to get an arc from NetGalley

I did feel like the beginning was a little slow but not in a bad way. We just had to get to know our characters and get the band back together. I've never been big on pirate stories or ones that take place on ships but if someone could convince me, it's S.A. Chakraborty.
There's very little magic in about the first half of the book and then when the magical elements are introduced, they come at you hard and fast and you're transported to a whole new world - literally! I really enjoyed the ending and I am excited to see where Chakraborty takes our characters next!
