This was a re-read so I could be reminded of the characters for the latest release.
This book definitely didn't change my life or anything, but I sure as hell had a good time reading it. It's a great summer read with will really transport you aboard a ship in the open sea. The whole pirate thing is just pure fun and adventure. Alosa and Riden have entertaining banter. I would've preferred more world-building and some deeper character complexities, but I also respect the decision to make it a fast-paced book.

Then we get the little reveal of who she really is and that got things on track more so, but there was still so much missing for me. There's the map pieces - that's so cool! That's pirate-y! Give me that! But it was just kind of a backburner MacGuffin. We also didn't get much pirate stuff because she kept getting put back in jail.
I liked the FMC. She was fun. She got a little under my skin with some of her "pick-me" energy of "I'm not like other girls" and "girls are so much better than boys," but it's YA. I get it. I liked her interactions with the MMC as well, but I wish he was given a bit more characterization than just "me broody man."
I'm going to try my hand at the second book and see if I get a bit more out of it, because I like this author. Hopefully this book just suffered from the first book exposition syndrome.
