The Crown's Dog by Elise Kova

5.0

This was an absolute blast to read! There were pirates, adventures, surprises, magic, handsome guys, and witty dialogue. I loved the obstacles this trio faced during their hunt, which became a lot more dangerous than they realized. While I loved the bits of darkness that crept into the story, such as hints at Jax's past and how he became owned by the crown, I have to say the highlight was the banter and loyalty between Jax, Erion, and Baldair. They were hilarious, playing off each other's personalities and quipping faster than whips, but their friendship was rock solid, something that paid off given how little Jax thought of himself (Stop thinking that, Jax! We love you!). Though the ending didn't quite play out as I expected it to, this was no doubt a fantastic addition to a stellar series and I was more than happy to see beloved characters return for one more adventure. A definite recommend if you like trouble-makers clashing with pirates and mystery!
