This book was just what I needed to lift my mood. It was so cute and had me hooked from the very first chapter. I have a few other Axie Oh books on my list and can’t wait to read them.

Raw. Honest. Powerful. An insight into mental illness. Well worth the read.

This was a great read and I learned a lot. It was great in my journey of deconstructing white supremacy and white feminism.

The beauty of the covers of this duology is what drew me to it. However, the insides don’t quite match the beauty on the outside. I admit that I went into expecting beautiful writing and well developed characters that draw me in, but that wasn’t quite the case. I ended up bored and finished simply because I had already bought both rather than because I wanted to.
I really did enjoy the various nautical elements we got and thought they were mostly well done. However, everything just felt surface level and almost nonsensical at times. If the adventure and diving had taken center stage over the unbelievable romance, I think it would have been better.
That cover is still gorgeous though.

Flat characters. Juvenile writing. Read like YA not a dark fantasy.

I still enjoyed this but having a series of 6 books means we need some variety and the writing is very formulaic so I can guess what is coming next very easily. I am holding my judgments until I finish but I have a feeling this could have been condensed into fewer books had we cut some of the frivolous mundane things that don't need to be in the book. It's also hard to keep all the side characters straight when there is almost nothing distinctive about them.
