Well. This was hands down the best of the series. 

I didn't love the first two, and I didn't love the first half of this one. It started off so slowly, and I was really, quite bored. I didn't care for the huge build-up of Katrina's mom coming along and the several, seeeveral conversations everyone needed to have over and over again to talk about it. Then, just to knock her out, send her beneath deck or whatever, and have the same conversations over again. I think a lot of the first half of this book I could have done without. 

Except for Milo's parts. Maybe because I just want a pirate story, and he was actually a Pirate in this one, I was more interested in his parts. 

Once we met with Bastian and started to go after the Kraken, the story really picked up, and, for the first time in this series, I really started to enjoy myself. I really just wanted more of that half in the rest of the series. The characters are all so immature (considering half of them are over 300 years old, c'mon), and I found a lot of the dialogue to be very unrealistic and cringey.

There are a lot of loose ends and plot points that really didn't make much sense and seemed to appear out of nowhere. But really, if you don't focus too hard on those things, it's a pretty okay read. The second half, at least.

I really wanted to love this series, I've been really looking forward to it coming up on my spinning wheel, but it just didn't work for me.
