Description

Adrasteia Dantes always knew she’d be a pirate captain. She just didn’t know she’d be seventeen years old when it happened.

Adra takes the helm of the Worldeater after her half brother Cameron attacks their father and steals a priceless treasure map. Now, the young captain has only one desire: revenge. She will restore her father’s honor by killing her brother, reclaiming the map he stole, and finding the legendary treasure at the grave of the first pirate king.

But when Adra discovers her brother’s ship destroyed and his crew dead—spare a sole survivor—she learns there’s something lurking in the sea that’s killing pirates, taking entire ships down with ease. Adra takes the surviving girl prisoner in hopes of tracking down Cameron, but no one will survive to see the treasure if they don’t find and stop the Devourer first.

If Adra wants to save her ship, she’ll have to strike a deal to help the Devourer reclaim something that was taken from her long ago. But it seems that their individual quests for vengeance might be leading them to the same end. . . .

Adrasteia Dantes always knew she’d be a pirate captain. She just didn’t know she’d be seventeen years old when it happened.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.75/5

The Devourer is a riveting, addictive YA fantasy with captivating characters, fascinating monsters, and a propulsive plot that hooked me from the first line.

Gosh, this was a good one. I wanted to highlight every line. The characters were fierce and strong, while showing emotions and development. The sub-plot sapphic romance was *chef’s kiss. The banter, pacing, and adventure were wonderful, and I adored the Daughter of the Pirate King X The Witcher vibes. I soaked this book up and did not want to put it down. It was magical, addictive, dark, twisty, and tender. The writing was beautiful and fit the story perfectly. I also adored the incorporation of monsters, strange magic, and adventure on the high seas. I highly recommend this wonderful debut!

Thank you to the publisher for the free ARC!

I loved every second of this book! This was a fast-paced sapphic pirate fantasy that somehow felt cozy even though the stakes were high and there were literal monsters. The magic system was unique, and the characters were relatable. I loved that there was a crew list and a map because when I read fantasy, I need to know where they are and who is there! lol Also, I think there's something to be said of writers who've been writing for a while because you know the book is going to flow really well, which this did! I definitely recommend this!
