The Curse of sunken Books

by Jessy Summer

Caspar has enough! When he joins the trading guild called Nightcloaks, he only wants to make quick money as a courier. But instead of paying off his huge mountain of debt, he finds himself in the middle of shady businesses and does not even receive the agreed gold. Blinded by his anger, he forges a plan of revenge, which only makes him a target himself. Between maritime battles and angry gods, he finds shelter with a crew of pirates. Will they be able to help him escape the threat of the Nightcloaks, or do they only have their own interests in mind?

I was fortunate to have received an ARC of the book before release.

Caspar is tired of working for the Nightcloaks, an unfriendly trading guild and the last straw is when they refuse to pay him what he is owed. He finds himself amongst a pirate crew. In order to get revenge on the Nightcloaks, Caspar and his family of friends must find a copy of an incredibly rare, missing book.

I really liked the adventures that Caspar took us on and watching him and his friends get into trouble and worm themselves out of it in the nick of time. There is a character for everyone in the group of friends. I really liked Olivia’s character in particular and would love more on the mages in the future!

The copy I read was an English translation and generally the translation was very good, there were a couple of sentences that did make sense but didn’t quite roll off the tongue naturally. It took me a little longer to read than I anticipated but I was enjoying the story so much that it didn’t detract from the reading experience.
I enjoyed the story and would love to see more from The Trunker Crew!

Also ich lese lieber in der ich-perspektive, da ich mich besser in die Geschichte einfühlen kann, aber ganz ehrlich nach dem ich erst einmal reingelesen hatte, war es wie, als würde ich die tollkühne Piratencrew begleiten. Es war aufregend eine chaotische, sagen wir mal Familie zu begleiten, die immer wieder in Schwierigkeiten gerät XD
Als lustigsten Charakter kröne ich noch immer Hugo den Schiffsgeist XD
Und das Cover ist ein absoluter Traum, meine Bewunderung an die Autorin
