I haven’t posted my review yet, but I did enjoy the book.

1. I was able to read past it, but it was difficult at times. Still, overall, it served a purpose even if I felt it was never really addressed by the characters. I wish it had been.

2. I like the concept of this magic system and feel more will be revealed in the rest of the series. I felt it was a clever twist on some more traditional magical systems I’ve read.

3. I really liked the healing Guardian and really didn’t like the captain. I’d like to say more, but it may give away spoilers.

I absolutely loved this series. This is the first book in the series and I read it in one sitting, also book 2 and 3 of the series. I cannot wait for more from this author. Love the world the adventure. This is not a modern world but a magical world on the high seas.

Here is my review.

Thanks for joining the discussion and sharing your thoughts. I too enjoyed the book and look forward to the rest, which I already have.

It's been a while since I read this series - loved it! I did struggle with one difficult scene but I was able to read past it. And it was so worth it. Loved the world-building and magic system. Unique and fascinating!

I couldn't read past the content that triggered me. Here's my review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

I read this series a while ago.

1. I had a really tough time with the hard content, but there is a reason and purpose for it in the series. I think we need to tackle the tough stuff in fiction now and then, and this series does that in the midst of an action-packed, intriguing fantasy world. The main character has a growth arc in this book, and her growth becomes phenomenal in the next books.

2. I loved the magic system!

3. Hated the captain, but there was definitely a reason for that.

Author's note:
In reference to the scene that's been mentioned here: A while ago, I did change that scene and softened it. While the main character experiences abuse, the story isn't about that. It's more about forgiveness. If you have an older version of the ebook, I believe you can get it updated.
