I truly enjoyed this novel. It's real rating is 4.5. There were some bits that irked me. (There was some slight repetitiveness). But I loved the dialogue and the descriptions and the setting and the writing and well, everything. 
 It really drew me in and I had a hard time putting this book down! Which is why I read much more than I should have this evening to finish it... oops. 
 It was fun and engaging and I love love love Caro. The characters were memorable and the lore was interesting. I kinda want a short story or two based on the tales in the novel. I like folk tales! Even if they're just briefly mentioned in a work of fiction... 
 If you like pirates and magic and a dash of romance, pick this up!
