Why read it?

1 author picked The Pirate and the Porcelain Girl as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

This book has all the things I love about a swashbuckling fantasy–found family, romance, and magic. The art is gorgeous, the characters are loveable, and the world is bustling with excitement and danger at every turn.

I loved the One Piece vibes, and it’s so wonderful to see queerness just be there. I could not stop turning the pages.
