Took me a while to get into this book for some reason. I think it was because I was hot off the ending of The Farseer Trilogy and this book was so different. Completely different characters, different setting, and about pirates, not Fitz and the Fool. Once I got into it though I enjoyed it.
I am still getting used to multi-POV books. Each chapter in this is told from a different characters perspective (and even some splits in the chapters from other characters POV). There were some characters and parts of the story that didn't seem to make sense or fit in but I trust that it will be revealed in books 2 and 3.
Didn't really care about the main character for the first half of the book. Once she finally had to go through some struggle I started to like her a bit more. There are other characters that I really do not like but I see that they are going to be important later in the story.
The main villain I am torn on. This book doesn't really give any motivation for why he is the villain but I have heard that it is fully fleshed out later and that he becomes one of the most well-written characters in the entire Elderlings series. I hope that is true.
