4.0

I haven’t read many pirate books, mostly because pirates don’t interest me very much.

But I will fully admit that I gave book 1 a chance because of the pretty edges.  

Book 2, surprisingly, didn’t suffer from the issue sequels can, especially in a trilogy.  We met new characters, received more insight into Alosa’s powers and her crew.  And I loved the descriptions in the book.

This was an adventure on the high seas that I greatly enjoyed!

iffer's review against another edition

4.0

I enjoyed this installment more than the first novel.  Elosa's character becomes more developed and the reader can admire the ways in which she grows, takes care of her crew, and learns to deal with her emotions.  There is still a lot of violence and death, which, for some reason strikes me as callous and ruthless in a way it doesn't on a TV or movie.  However, it seems less out of place in book two, since it thematically aligns with the way in which sirens are contradictions, innocent in some ways despite their survival relying on manipulation and murder.

I loved both of these books so much, my only criticism is that we don't really get an end for Ryle and Alosa. I wish we got to see some parts of them together before the book ended but I loved it either way.
