This book was exactly what it was advertised to be: Incredibly gay, incredibly goofy, incredibly adorable. 

Our Flag Meets Death meets The Great British Bake Off in this fun pirate romp across the seas as the main characters navigate their fraught relationships with each other, the dangerous ocean during serpent breeding season, the annual pirate island cake competition, and their plot to undermine the most powerful nation in the world and open up the seas to common sailors and pirates alike.  

At times the absolute quirkiness of this book almost started to rub me the wrong way, but it was elegantly balanced with some mediations on religion and politics, and some shockingly emotional moments about finding worth in yourself as you are. 

Absolutely recommend if you need a fun palette cleanser filled with queer, polyamorous pirates and adorable blue glowing dogs.
