I have fallen in love with this series. This book has so many different themes that blend together seamlessly.
The story has a central theme of an anti-magic fueled war, which spans over 2 decades. We experience multiple glimpses of the war during this time, filling in some very important details for what is upcoming for us.
We have the evil villain, the antihero, the found/lost family theme playing a huge role here.
The majority of the tale is told over the course of a seabound journey where our FMC grows and develops into herself, her powers and becomes this badass lovable heroine who I would follow in a heartbeat.
The book is full of steamy romance and love, friendship and trust.
There are a lot of plot twists and I adored them all, they kept me almost jumping out of my skin with tension.
I can honestly say I haven't enjoyed a series this much in a while.
Even the bad guys, you respect their evilness and hate them at the same time.
The good guys, a ragtag bunch of pirates, are the most hilarious and delightful sidekicks I've experienced.
The MMC, our FMC love interest, is absolutely swoonworthy, a handsome pirate that I got captain hook vibes from (once upon a time TV show version) yum.
This book was off the charts spicy. So I thoroughly recommend to my fellow smut sisters.
A sizzling 5⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ for this beautiful tale, of fighting the unjust and clawing the way back to the good life, the one they were rightfully meant to have.
A fantastic example of a swashbuckling adventure Romantasy.
My favourite quote this book:
"To sail wherever the sea of Zemira takes us."
I found it really encapsulated the true essence of the finished story, now they were out of troubled water, they were free to live their lives as they would choose too, without fear of consequence or fear from an unjust society.
-and now that sea is taking me directly to the next book; King Elijah.
