Excellent start to the trilogy, a world so rich and well thought out complemented with compelling characters and great battles -
Right off the bat, RJ barker throws you into his nautical world with unusual terms and creatures. However, but the end the familiarity expands the richness of the world and how well it is crafted. 

Overall a very fun seafaring adventure full of twists and turns, the vibe is very atmospheric and the ending opens the door to an exciting sequel. 

I feel like this book is either hit or miss depending on the reader, but I highly recommend anyone to give it a try nonetheless 👍🏽
