a quick and enjoyable read!!

- I live for any book sea related even though the sea kind of terrifies me,
- the plot and pacing was good,
- I loved the mystery element behind the book and I didn’t guess the ending which was nice.

however,
- I didn’t like the writing style, it is a book definitely written for the younger YA audience,
- there was no character development really and aster was kind of boring,
- I didn’t like the alternative chapters with sam and aster. it just all seemed too convenient he was there??

3 stars!
