“Everyone has something dark in their past. I suppose it's our job to overcome it. And if we can’t overcome it, then all we can do is make the most of it.”

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.

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.

I absolutely loved it! While I agree with everyone that it reads a bit like a fanfiction, I didn't really mind that (Read them half of my childhood, why would I mind now xD). I love Alosa and Ridens' dynamic and their banter was absolutely hilarious to me. I only wish the fantasy element would've been introduced a bit smoother.. but other than that an amazing read.

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!
