I'm invested in finding those dragon eggs, I'd happily watch an abuser of power get his comeuppance, and I'm mildly interested in the new friends-to-enemies-to-lovers couple but ... at a third of the way through it still feels like the plot is barely advancing and watching the couple through the perspective of Kianthe and Reyna isn't particularly satisfying. And Reyna just slashed and bashed through an innocent constable with no warning in an actual act of piracy, so ... this feels like a good time to call it. Maybe I'm just not in the frame of mind for a relatively slow-moving travel adventure / pirate fantasy. Might pick it up again later.
