I hate to dnf books, cus most of the time i think they could get better and i didn´t give them the chance they deserved, but man, i couldn´t with this one.
The plot or the idea behing this book was really cool and i was hyped for some sapphic pirates and monster trainers so thats why i don´t want to give this one just one star.
BUT
i didn´t like the characters, especially Cas (and Swift). Which is unfortunate. My main problem was the "romance". I couldn´t for the life of me, understand why Cas even liked Swift. First she was all "i don´t like her, she is my captor, why do i have to work with her", than she did a full 180 and talked/thought about them working together and how Swift was her only ally (which girl, she had to be, to safe her own ass). Then the attack happend and Cas got RIGHTFULLY angry with Swift, for abandoning her and the monster (which in itself is stupid, bc Swifts life is also on the line here). I tought OKEY that could be the moment Cas realized how shitty the situation is and for Swift to redeem herself a little, but oh no 2 pages further and her anger is GONE. All Cas thinks is how she misses the moments she had with Swift (like maybe 2 good but superficial ones) and how she wanted to be near her again. Cas, she didn´t give u ONE GOOD REASON to really like her.
AGAIN, i don´t know if i can judge this book fairly without reading the whole book, so be aware that this opinion is based solely on the first 120 pages, but i think i pass on this one.
Hopefully when u read it, u can enjoy it more than me....more
