And for her new mission, she is teamed with a soldier, Rian Grant, part of the Beau Monde. She has a few male friends, Kingsley and Dorian. The queen has a bit of personality as does one of her advisors, Chandler. There are the key members of Kit’s family and crew, as well as those in the palace. There are other characters who add to the development. She has the support of a great found family. Kit is also better able to control her temper and follow orders, even when there is bias or injustice than I would be. She has amazing intelligence, care for her crew, abilities with magic and strategies. Her current work as a sea captain is a position she loves and handles very well.
Kit has an interesting backstory as a foundling. Of course, characters are key to a great book. The world has an interesting magic system we only begin to see. She took over when her father the King died and is savvy and capable. After marriage, they would be expected to stop their career and cater to the home. Women are considered inferior by the misogynistic which is many Beau Monde men. There is a class system with the elite, Beau Monde, and the regular folks. The setting is some sort of historical fantasy world. Still, it took me a bit to get started on reading (as is often the case this year), but I was drawn into story quickly.īright and Breaking Sea has so many things I love. I am fond of this author’s work but the description of this new series, Captain Kit Brightling, didn’t really appeal to me. Kit can lead her ship and clever crew on her own, but with the fate of queen and country at stake, Kit and Rian must learn to trust each other, or else the Isles will fall. But Kit has her orders, and the queen has commanded they journey to a dangerous pirate quay and rescue a spy who's been gathering intelligence on the exiled emperor of Gallia. Rian Grant, Viscount Queenscliffe, may be a veteran of the Continental war, but Kit doesn't know him or his motives-and she's dealt with one too many members of the Beau Monde. But the waters become perilous when the queen sends Kit on a special mission with a partner she never asked for. Her ship is small, but she's fast-in part because of Kit's magical affinity to the sea. Kit Brightling, rescued as a foundling and raised in a home for talented girls, has worked hard to rise through the ranks of the Isles' Crown Command and become one of the few female captains in Queen Charlotte's fleet.
