Goodreads Synopsis
After her family is killed by corrupt warlord Aric Athair and his bloodthirsty army of Bullets, Caledonia Styx is left to chart her own course on the dangerous and deadly seas. She captains her ship, the Mors Navis, with a crew of girls and women just like her, who have lost their families and homes because of Aric and his men. The crew has one mission: stay alive, and take down Aric's armed and armored fleet. But when Caledonia's best friend and second-in-command barely survives an attack thanks to help from a Bullet looking to defect, Caledonia finds herself questioning whether to let him join their crew. Is this boy the key to taking down Aric Athair once and for all . . . or will he threaten everything the women of the Mors Navis have worked for?
Review
Okay, Seafire had been on my radar since it first came out and I never got around to it. So when it came up I knew I had to read it and I was lucky enough to be accepted for it!
This book was a rollercoaster of emotions. I was 20% into the book and I was already crying. This book hits hard but in a good way. Seafire was so beautifully written that I felt like I was with those girls fighting for their lives.
Caledonia is a brilliant protagonist. She’s strong but she doubts her decisions especially when it comes to the crew and their safety. She’s been put into this role of captain, fighting with the realisation that any wrong move and her crew could die, just like her family was when she was younger.
I was nervous having such a large cast of secondary characters but honestly, they helped make the book. Each with their own personalities and what they bring to the table I fell in love with each of them.
I’m annoyed with myself for leaving it so long to read this book and I honestly cannot wait for the next book. I absolutely loved this book to the point that as soon as I had finished it I went and brought a physical copy.
Thank you to NetGalley and Usborne Publishing for providing me with a copy of the book in exchange for an honest review. You’ll be pleasantly surprised by the world and the characters that Natalie C. Parker has created.
Rating: 5/5 stars
