Maybe I’ve just come to appreciate the recent books where consent is made really clear. I guess it’s clear she could stop him if she wanted to, but it felt a little weird to me. When she experiences a romantic advance from one of the other pirates, it’s not clear whether she wants him to behave like he does. She arranges for herself to be captured and makes it clear (to the reader) that she can come and go from her cell pretty much at will.
Once I understood how that code worked, I was a huge fan of him. But he’s also a pirate, so kind of unpredictable, definitely living by his own code of ethics. He’s so conflicted, so caught between what he wants and protecting people he cares about and doing the right thing. She’s fierce and smart and knows how to bide her time and wait for the right moments to do what she needs to do.
I really enjoyed a lot of things about this book.
