Thanks Hodder and Stoughton for the ARC!
Gay buccaneers? Highly traumatized lovers? A unique magic system? YES PLEASE!
I really enjoyed the emotional depth that the author allowed the characters to explore in this book. Each character reacts uniquely to the traumatic events they live through, and no one blames them if they don't handle it well. They all are allowed to grieve and process, and the characters don't try to one up each other.
I also really loved the world building in this book. The religious structures were interesting, and also Leviathan's are so cool. I'd love to read more in this world.
