"'I never much cared for prophecies and destinies myself. I prefer a clean slate in life, a woman's fate up to herself, not the sayings of old men and dusty scrolls. Besides, prophecies always have a way of going wrong, don't they? They promise you a savior, but that savior ends up eating babies or kicking puppies or something, and the poor gull who's the prophecied one always ends up dead.'"

Well-plotted, with events that keep chugging along, but there's sometimes odd pacing in when the shifts between storylines happen.

Getting invested in the characters and what's going to happen to them.

After an intriguing, disturbing first chapter, we've jumped forward in time and met a drunken, lusty sea captain who seems like she's going to be fun. Can't wait to see where we go next!
