Special thanks to NetGalley and Berkley Publishing Group for sharing this ARC with me in exchange for my honest review. I like the story and by the middle of the book it was full of action and adventure. Her sister Jane is into inventions and makes explosives, and Kit’s second in command, Jin, is a master thief. We get to meet a lot of characters all with their own interesting stories including some of her adopted sisters. It’s a relationship definitely built on respect, and that’s awesome. There isn’t a lot of romance, but It will probably be seen in the next book. It’s interesting to see the two work together despite not liking each other (at least at first) and learn to respect each other. As a member of the Beau Monde, Kit at first does not like him and vice versa. When the Queen believes there are traitors in the Crown Command and a man goes missing she assigns Kit and Colonel Rian Grant to the case. We even meet a few of the crew who have the same power but with land and wind. Kit is aligned with the sea meaning she is able to magically manipulate the water and current to help sail. The Queen sends her on secret missions, but mostly to the public eye she is seen as a courier. We meet Kit Brightling, a member of the Crown Command as the Captain of The Diana. **spoiler alert** The Bright and Breaking Sea is a pirate/spy story and very different from the Chicagoland series. 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."- … ( more)
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.
"Chloe Neill brings her trademark wit and wild sense of adventure to this stunning seafaring fantasy starring a dauntless heroine in a world of magic and treachery.
