Angeliki

Hey there! I'm Angeliki and I love books that manage to completely engross me. Fantasy is my go to but I always try to branch out to other genres.

    I really wanted to like this! It started off strong and I was interested to see where the story was going. Unfortunately, I felt that something was missing. The characters and their relationships are underdeveloped. Everything gets resolved too quickly and the climax of the story was over in one chapter. It had the potential but at the end of the day it's a lackluster YA pirate story.

    Really enjoying it so far. One of those books that would have benefited from not being YA. Still too early to judge since I feel neither the characters nor the world have completely unraveled yet but despite that it's a pleasant read and I'm enjoying the pirate vibes.

    I'm sorry but this was so mid!! I wanted twists and turns and got vanilla mystery for babies. I also found the writing very amateurish. Very quick read though so I'll give it that.

    I didn't have many expectations since I picked this up on a whim but it was a tad disappointing. Nothing particularly stuck out to me. The characters and writing were fine. The plot unremarkable. Not even the romance excited me as much as I would have hoped. Overall not a bad book just not for me.

    Although I've really enjoyed the book so far my interest to keep going is slightly diminished now that we concern ourselves mainly with Cal and Aron. Still poignant and reflective writing but the characters are losing me a little bit. Hoping the 100 remaining pages will lead to a strong finish!

    Enjoying this way more than expected! Thought the dense writing would be tough to get through but it's been a breeze so far. Very interesting both plot and character wise
