Bookshops & Bonedust meets Our Flag Means Death in this cozy fantasy on the low seas, where lesbian pirates find out if enemies actually can become lovers! Kianthe and Reyna are on the hunt for dragon eggs to save their hometown—but it requires making a deal with Diarn Arlon, lord of the legendary Nacean River. Simply capture the river pirate Serina, who’s been plaguing Arlon's supply chains, and bring her in for justice. Easy peasy. Begrudgingly, the couple joins forces with Bobbie, one of Arlon’s constables determined to capture the pirate. Except Bobbie and Serina have a more complicated history than anyone realized, and it might jeopardize everything. While Kianthe and Reyna watch this relation-shipwreck from afar, it quickly becomes apparent that these disaster lesbians need all the help they can get. Luckily, matchmaking is Reyna’s favorite pastime. The dragon eggs may have to wait.

“Maybe that was love: knowing those negative emotions would linger... and choosing to focus on the positive ones instead.”
First of all... the puns did not disappoint. One of the only things I wanted to continue in the sequal and they were abso-loot-ley (ha get it?) perfect. It was the puns and the dynamic between Reyna and Kianthe. I laughed multiple times at the flirting between those two, I honestly could not get enough.
The new characters were unique and intriguing and I absolutely loved all the pirates (one pirate in particular but that would spoil it xD). This one was a lot more high stakes than the first, which I absolutely loved, but I'm not sure it can completely be classed as a “cosy” fantasy. The ending definitely was, but everything else was not so much.
Despite that, I loved reading it a lot and wish Bobbie would crochet me my very own Pondie too. I can't wait for the third book to eventually come out and I will definitely be reading it :)
[ARC review - thank you Rebecca!]
