Summary

In the year 2513, the only thing higher than the seas is what’s at stake for those who sail them.

Rose was born facing due north, with an inherent perception of cardinal points flowing through her veins. Her uncanny sense of direction earns her a coveted job within the Archipelago Fleet, but it also attracts the attention of Admiral Comita, who sends her on a secret mission deep into pirate territory.

Aboard the mercenary ship, Man o' War, Rose joins a ragtag crew under the command of Miranda, a captain as alluring as she is bloodthirsty. Rose quickly learns that trusting the wrong person could get her killed - and Miranda’s crew have no desire to make anything easy for her.

If Rose is going to survive the mission, she’s going to have to learn to navigate more than ruthless pirates, jealous crewmates, swarms of deadly jellyfish, and a host of other underwater perils. Above all, she’s going to need a strategy to resist Miranda’s magnetic pull.

I enjoyed this book for the most part, however things didn’t feel fully fleshed out. I enjoyed the characters and their banter but the connection between Miranda and rose doesn’t feel fully formed. I found myself wondering why rose likes Miranda and why they like each other? It feels like they weee just paired together without any actual character growth or relationship building. I actually felt rose had better chemistry with a few of the crew or Harper. The book was engaging and enjoyable enough but it took me a bit to get into it and didn’t feel like it landed the mark exactly. I would have liked to see the characters and their relationships more fleshed out and a tad more world building.

I also didn’t like the narrator personally. Her voice took me out of it at points and felt a bit robotic at times or like she didn’t know a sentence was ending? Or got characters voices mixed up.

Good ideas, would have liked more though
