TL;DR: A young woman tests her skills to find a map while captured by a hostile crew. A young man fights his growing feelings for the mysterious young woman putting him in conflict with how his brother needs him.

This book had me giggling and kicking my feet. There are some awful characters (they're pirates so some of them are shit heads) but I thoroughly enjoyed the characters and the story! I had a great time with every page!

I'm getting lucky this year! This was a decent read, and I really enjoyed it. 

Alosa is such a strong FMC, but not too overpowered, thankfully. She has legitimate limits, and that makes this more believable. She is a bit annoying at times with her inner monologue, but otherwise, I liked her

Riden was clearly going to be the love interest from the start, but I do like how slow they took it and how they absolutely hated each other. The banter was perfect, too! I love him so far, and I really want to know more about him

The crew were interesting, but I feel like I didn't get enough time with many other characters. Hopefully, in the next book, we will get more time with others

The story didn't really get to go far, though, and that is my one gripe with this book. It was quite a short read and could easily be read in one sitting, but most of this book was Alosa being captured. It only got to the interesting bit right at the end. 

I will definitely be reading the next book, I'm very curious about what happens from here!
