Oh wow. So my roommate has been wanting me to read this book for about 2 years now and she FINALLY convinced me to pick it up aaaand I finished in 2 days.
AHHHH! This was SO good and I liked it waaay better than I thought I would! Perfect timing for me to finally read this since the sequel comes out later this year!
I loved both main characters and I’m super excited to see what they’re up to in the sequel with the big time jump. I ship them a lot. Like, a lot. I was disappointed that we didn’t get to see them get together at the end but I’m happy knowing there’s a sequel. Other fave characters in this one were Saleh, Maryam and the Radzins!
Knocked off a star only because it was a little draggy at times and had a bit too much narration from people other than the main characters for my taste. Other than that, it’s got me super hyped for the sequel! Six months!

Oh. Okay then. I sad. I very sad.

To kick off, I'd just like to state for the record that I have come to terms with the fact that I have an absolute weakness for any character that says something along the lines of "I'm not a pirate, I'm a privateer." Seriously, it's happened at least four times now.
I loved this book! Monty was such a fun narrator and the plot was interesting and educational! I probably read the description of this book at least three separate times before I actually decided that it would be something worth trying, and I'm so glad I finally did!
I LOVED Felicity and I got SO happy when I found out after I finished this that she's getting her very own book in a few months! I am VERY excited to see how she takes to Piracy and where Scipio plays into all of that... :)
Definitely one of my faves of the year so far!
