In fiction, pirates are almost always chaotically fun they might break the rules, but it’s always the rules everyone wants to break anyway (like women have to be proper or no telling rich people how much they suck). I love books and movies and sitcoms about pirates. Her only hope is Florian, the pirate who was assigned to protect her while onboard and with whom she has fallen in love, but who is hiding more than one secret. Little does Evelyn know that the ship she boards is actually crewed by pirates who plan to overtake their passengers and sell them into slavery. Unfortunately, she’s far from a proper lady, and her parents decide that the best thing to do with her is to send her to an arranged marriage across the world at the very edge of the empire’s reach. I’m always in a mood for pirate content, but the nonbinary representation promised in The Mermaid, the Witch, and the Sea was enough to get it to stand out from the crowd.Įvelyn is the beautiful, wealthy, highborn daughter of Imperial nobility. In that search, I repeatedly saw The Mermaid, the Witch, and the Sea by Maggie Tokuda-Hall recommended. After binging the excellent queer pirate comedy Our Flag Means Death, I actively sought out media that would fill the hole it left.
