Oh! I didn't know this was an #lgbtq title! Or maybe I did when I requested it xD I ended up really enjoying certain parts of this book, like Karis being #ace, Alex's growth (tho it was sad too), Karis's choices, the realness of consequences, and so much more :D that said, sometimes the pacing felt a bit meh for me. That's probably why I was like HMMM what to rate it?? I ended up giving it a 3.75 SG and 4 GRs #fantasy #pirates #friendship #family
