I had a rocky start with this book. It took me a while to warm up to it because I felt like the way the way the world was revealed to the readers wasn't as elegant or masterful as others I've read but once I became familiar with the worlds vocabulary, culture, and lore, it became immediately much more enjoyable. The characters were great, the world (after everything clicked for me) was so unique and different from the other fantasy worlds I've visited.

I also realize now that I'm a sucker for nautical fantasy. I love ships, and pirates, and dragons which is why this along with Robin Hobb's Ships of Magic and the Red Ships under Red Skies installment of the Lock Lamora series will be my go-tos for rereads.

Really excited to read the next one!
