"Gave me back that 'just finished ACOTAR' feeling." - Reddit review

My name is Bird Howsley, and I'm a beautiful disaster. Or... maybe just a disaster, period. In a brutal dystopian waterworld where survival depends on the ocean, I've spent twenty years wondering why I don't fit in. My rivals at the academy are thriving, but I always seem to be one bad decision away from life going completely down the drain.

Even Sargo is losing patience with me. He's my mentor -- two years older than me, and already a captain. He's everything I'm not: strong, level-headed, admired. And surly. Super surly. I suspect there's more going on behind that hot, confident mask than he lets on.

Did I say hot? I didn't mean hot. He's just a mentor. I definitely don't have sex dreams about him...
Anyway, two days ago, a mysterious message arrived... from the brother I thought was dead. He knows something about my past. Something that might explain why I don't belong in this world. I need to find him -- but to do that, I'll have to cross a deadly ocean ravaged by storms, bloodthirsty pirates, and dark political secrets.

I can't do it alone... Maybe I can bribe that hot, surly captain to help me...

Bird will do anything to get answers about her past. Sargo is facing his own inner turmoil. Can they teach each other to survive in this world? Or will they be dragged into the abyss?
