It's not that there aren't any serious moments or that this book doesn't have its fair share of intense scenes, but the overall vibe is one of comfort and pure adventure. The atmosphere was also a really enjoyable, lighthearted one that felt so relaxing to read. I won't say much more about Athlen, though, because I feel that a lot of the details about him lead to too many spoilers. Still, I enjoyed his role in this book, and his chemistry with Tal was so sweet and enjoyable to watch grow and develop. His fears were also understandable and conveyed well–fears about being nothing but a political pawn in his future career, wanting to control his magic, and much more that made him a character it was easy to root for.Īthlen is, of course, the main love interest, and I enjoyed his sort of unpredictable appearances and personality despite the fact that I found a few things about his character a bit too cliche'd for me. I appreciated seeing the family dynamic between him, his siblings, and his parents, and I particularly enjoyed all of the teasing he got from his siblings-it made everything feel a bit more fun and authentic. Tal was an endearing young protagonist whose frustrations at being the youngest and fears of his future are easily relatable to many readers. Things get even more complicated when Tal is kidnapped by pirates, and what follows is a action-packed, fast-paced adventure as the plot progresses. This book follows Prince Tal as he embarks upon his coming-of-age tour, which doesn't quite as planned–although what ever does in life? While on tour, Tal runs into a mysterious boy named Athlen who intrigues Tal and also tends to pop up and disappear at random. Nonetheless, if you like some pirates and youthful seafaring characters then you might still be interested in this one. ![]() ![]() ![]() The description for this book describes it as a combination of Pirates of the Caribbean and The Gentleman's Guide to Vice and Virtue, and although I absolutely see the Gentleman's Guide comparison, I wouldn't necessarily go into this expecting Pirates of the Caribbean.
