Book Review: Of the Stars and Sea
TROPES
Of the Stars and Sea is a bingeable rivals-to-lovers Romantasy with sharp-witted banter, page-turning adventure and delectable spicy romance.
A traitorous pirate lord. A bounty hunter with a score to settle. And an epic treasure that will grant them both the freedom they desire…unless they destroy each other first.
Rowenya Stone is captain of the once fearsome pirate ship, the Trinity. Bound to her father’s old debts, Rowenya has been forced to break the Pirates’ Code by capturing her own kind in exchange for money. Tired of being shackled to her father’s past, Rowenya hatches a plan to steal an ancient artifact, said to unveil a map to the greatest treasure ever known to man.
But the plan goes awry when Grayson Tyde, the most ruthless and feared pirate lord in the Southern Realm, intercepts them. When Grayson discovers Rowenya has one thing he does not—knowledge of the old gods’ language inscribed upon the artifact—he forces her onto his ship.
However, they are not the only ones in search of the artifact, and as the threat of their enemies looms, Rowenya must trust the one person she’s always feared. But what terrifies her more is her perilous attraction to Grayson.
In a world where love is a traitorous thing and danger lurks around every corner, Rowenya must decide if finding the treasure is worth losing her heart.
My Review
Rowenya is not one to mess with. Just because she is a female does not mean you should underestimate her. She did not get to be captain without stepping on some toes and being strong.
It would only be fitting that Rowenya meets her match with rival ship captain, Grayson. I barely knew much about Grayson, but I was already a fan of his. The cheeky ways that he liked to get under Rowenya's skin or the way that he gave her a look or a touch had me swooning. I love Grayson's nickname for Rowenya of "Little Pearl".
Come get swept up to the high seas with this highly entertaining romantasy! Instantly hooked. There is never a dull moment. The book starts and ends on a high note. I am so invested in this story that I can't wait to read the next book as I need to know what happens to Rowenya and Grayson. If you are a fan of Pirates of the Caribbeans, One Piece, or even Black Sails, you are going to love this book.
