pickThis is another one I'm calling a soft pick.
I did enjoy it overall, but the pacing could have used some work, and the characters absolutely could have been fleshed out more. Nonetheless, the story was still compelling, and the magic system was intriguing.
I enjoyed it enough that I did pick up the second book, but I probably won't start it for a while.
pickI‘ve had this on my TBR for so long! I‘m glad I finally picked it up. A storm singer gets caught and sold to a pirate. It‘s then an adventure of different pirates on the high-sea. Mary doesn‘t know who to trust, but is hoping a certain pirate will help her find her mom. This appears to be a trilogy. I like the way it ended, so I will most likely continue and all the books are out!
pick⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
It took a bit for this one to fully pull me in, but once it did, I really enjoyed the ride!
This has multiple branches of a unique nature-based magic and pirates, pirate hunters, and a Navy all competing for the seas.
This is a complete story, but the end is set up for more adventures, and I'll definitely be reading book two.
Very fun fantasy adventure!

@Chrissyreadit I love my #nightmaremakerswap!! These are so beautiful, you said you are not artistic but …these are so fun and beautiful. I wanted to to take a million pictures to post all the details of these. Amazing! Thank you so much. I am looking forward to the book and putting together the bookstore!
@LibrarianRyan for hosting!
pickApparently, fantasy set on the high seas where pirates, privateers, & navies duel in the known seas & beyond, their battles enhanced by people who can manipulate the weather and/or talk to magical creatures is my new jam. Great writing, fantastic world building, an intriguing magic system & some great characters make this brutal, seafaring adventure a really good read. The first book in a series, I look to reading more. On sale 7/23.
Picked up two books and three ARCs—one of which happens to be signed—on my walk yesterday. Starting the tagged book, described as perfect for readers of R.J. Barker (who wrote The Bone Ships series I fell in love with earlier this year) and Naomi Novik. This fantasy with pirates and Stormsingers, disgraced naval officers, vendettas and who knows what else comes out in July. Excited to see what it‘s all about.
