More like 2.5 stars!!! 
 I really had no idea what I was getting myself into with this book. I liked the concept of the novel where a rich girl trys to navigate her own life and destiny. The worldbuilding reminded me of a mix of colonialism with pioneer/frontier living which was rather refreshing. I enjoyed Adelaide and Cedric. Their romance was enjoyable if not a tad bit predictable. However, that's where my interest ended. 
 The rest if the story was a mish mash of pirates and various cultures/religions which are never fully explained. Plus there are all these horribly named places which are just thrown at you and you have no idea where they are or anything about them. I feel a map and some background information would have definitely been helpful in this regard. I was also sorely disappointed with the way the story ended. Besides the MCs, the minor characters' storylines are just left unresolved or are patched up rather poorly. 
 Overall the novel is an okay read. I think it would have benifitted from being a series as opposed to a standalone. A lot more things could have been explained rather than rushed along.
