The plot was fast paced and entertaining. I was intrigued by the FMC’s goal and tactics. I enjoyed the humor and internal dialogue.

After reading parade/nautical books in the past, I wish there was a little more of the sea faring details. I wanted to have the essence of life on the water… Instead it felt like they were on land or docked the entire time.

The magic is intriguing and I can’t wait to learn more. I feel like it’s only the tip of the iceberg.

The characters are fun and I enjoy that there are elements being held back. The FMC’s sassiness and grit makes her enjoyable. I even enjoy that she is so cut throat. She has to be as a Pirate Captain. I’m interested to learn more about her upbringing.

The relationship between the brothers is still a mystery to me, but I like the contradictory nature of the MMC and how he seems to be internally struggling with the pirate way of life. I’m interested to see his development in the next book.

One issue I had was with the book claiming to be the female equivalent to Jack Sparrow. The FMC is definitely not. I also wish there was a little more world building. The intricacies to how this world works under the Pirate King could have been flushed out more. So much of it seems a little vague.

The other issue I had was the believability that the most feared and skilled in the book were under 20. That an entire crew was so young was just asking too much. It made certain people stick out like a sore thumb, thus completely obvious.

But it was a fun read and I highly suggest it for younger teenage readers.

I really enjoyed this YA piratical fantasy! There were a lot of fun twists throughout, though I predicted almost all of them. I liked the depth of the story and the details of Alosa’s character. The characters seemed older than they were (17 and 18?? Yeah, they didn’t act that age). I wish there was more romance!! I’m excited to read the next book and see what happens next.

Great and intriguing book that had many small twists and turns. 4.5 only for the lack of diversity especially in a pirate themed book, which we all know gives many chances for diverse characters.

This was very much a YA book LOL. A 17-year-old is the captain of a pirate ship on a quest. Throughout this book, you discover if she will complete the quest or die trying. This is a solid female lead character, but I felt it was missing cannon fights and the cliche plank walking.

There is one part just past the 50% mark that made my head swivel because it was thrown in there, and random

Spoiler

SHE IS A SIREN PIRATE?! I did not know that those two things could go together

I saw that this was her debut book, so I gave her a little grace because I didn't hate it and finished it fairly quickly. If she ever did a sequel, I think it would be much better to continue building the story.

For this book i just wanted a quick and fun boom to read. It was a one plus for having the strong female lead. I absolutely had fun reading it and just enjoyed myself. I didn't try to analyze it or anything I just found it fun.
