Of Song and Darkness

3.5☆
If you're looking for a fast-paced book on the shorter side, Of Song and Darkness would be your thing! It has pirates, sea creatures, enemies-to-lovers and no spice!!
(Spoilers in this paragraph!!) Unfortunately, I did have a few issues - one of them was how her fiancé was addressed. It was indeed a forced engagement and Orm was a professional jerk. HOWEVER, the author decided to make Rhea mention him and even compliment him (which was fake, yes, though I do not think Kai knew that), yet afterwards no one paid any attention to it and the two main characters kissed. I think it should have been addressed better and it left a bit of an icky feeling for me:/ Another instance was when another woman ran upto Kai and kissed him and he then continued to hold her waist, now him and Rhea were not together by then, so no other women drama really, but for me it felt a bit strange.
The writing was quite nice! It did fall flat for me in some parts where I would appreciate more tension, more focus on emotions such as their first kiss. Nonetheless, it was also quite easy to read and descriptive which I enjoyed!
The plot was entertaining for sure!!:) The plot twist that came later on was absolutely impressive and I did not see it coming. I think the last 20-30% of the book were the best part!
In conclusion, I enjoyed it mostly:))
