It started getting some good action around the last 100 pages. I enjoyed this book but I didn't find it ‘groundbreaking' like it says on the cover.
Liked it less then I thought I would, but that is most likely because I am not a big romance fan and the main thing about this book is....well the ‘romance', to how they grow toghether
Loved the world this book is placed in and the characters, so I will definitely read the second book!
2.5☆
It got good towards 70% into the book. I am still so very unsure if I really liked this book or if it just made me curious?
Literally everything would've not happened if the mc would've just listened and I think I'm mostly just annoyed with that?
4.5☆
Absolutely loved this book.
Niclays made me cry everytime he had a chapter.
Only reason I did not give this 5☆ is because it could've definitely been a duology
In the beginning it was kind of hard to get into, originally Did Not Finish it back when I got it. Reading while also listening to the audiobook did help though!
4.5☆
This book started very slow (imo). The first few chapters caused me to want to dnf multiple times, but it was so worth it to keep reading. The constant obsessing over loving Kay was starting to get quite annoying. Some parts of it where very weird, but the good kind of weird.
Not a recommendation when you're in a slump (or just coming out of it), but a recommendation nonetheless.
Wish I could draw because I'm missing fanart of Janna.
Very solid 3.5
It was a little slow but I very much enjoyed the vibe and characters. If the pace was a little faster it would've been a 4☆
Before you decide to read this book, look into the trigger warnings!
This book was so intriguing, and I think the author does a very VERY good job of treating these harsh subjects with the weight and respect it needs.
This book left me aching for more, while also having a great ending.
For me, this book did not live up to the hype.
At some point the narration seemed to be taken over by a romantic version of it, which I did not enjoy but I think that's mostly on my own bookish dislikes.
The story was interesting but some things about the writing style and story decisions annoyed me too much.

Dnfed this book, gave it 3 stars as to not ‘tank' the reviews too much
Story had potential!
I got to 30% of this book and am struggling to pick it back up. The world/species of this book is very confusing and I feel like I've just been thrown into the middle of it with little to no explanation.
Well, that was disappointing? I signed up for a horror, not a romance. I expected this book to...worse? “He tells her to she can get her brother back...for a price.” I expected that price to be way higher, and it should've been (imo)
I am now crying
This was honestly far beter then I expected, made me a bunch of small little theories while reading too (none of them where right)
It was a wild ride
This book definitely had a lot of ‘empty space' where, technically, not much was happening. But it did a real good job of wanting you to keep reading by either making the conversions interesting (and the characters loveable) or you knowing something is coming, which in this book isn't always good.
Overall, I really loved this book; it made me cringe at times, but it was the good kind of cringe.
Giving this a 3☆ because it does have potential, I just think that the triggerwarnings should've been more obviously there as I would've probably not picked it up then
The fact that she's to marry her cousin, and the weird comments about her dad liking her and her mother to look underaged?
This book is too much of a wild ride for me, and I think the trigger warnings should've been in the Netgalley description as they are very easy to miss once you start reading. ‘this book is not for the faint of heart' is too little of a warning in my opinion
1,5 stars (0.5 extra because I didnt actually finish it)
I really,,,REALLY wanted to like this book. Because pirates??? Hell yea! But all this book feels like to me,,,is self insert Wattpad Fanfiction
