This book had an interesting premise and started strong with a voyage and great cast of characters, but I think my expectations may have been too high.

What I liked: the worldbuilding (at least what we got to see), the setting, the side characters other than the romantic interests, the plot to some degree.

What I didn't like: The actions of the main character became very infuriating a little past halfway through the book. The romantic interest felt forced and I wished it had just been left out entirely.

Also there is a lot of this book that feels derivative of other series in terms of the love interest(s).

The ending did redeem it a bit for me but if the narration of the audiobook hadn't been so well done I probably would have stopped it about 70% in.
