A fun, adventurous y/a novel. I absolutely love the protagonist Alosa. She was so confident and daring and fun! Honestly a perfect protagonist for any y/a novel. 

I loved that even though this book featured romance and some possible relationships, the book didn’t stray from the main plot, and the girls character traits didn’t change because of a love interest. 

Unfortunately I didn’t fully connect with the characters, I didn’t think about the book much after I read it. I will definitely read the sequel, but I didn’t like the series enough to want to go back snd read it again anytime soon.

A very fun and short read. This was the first book I’ve read about pirates, and I easily found myself immersed in its world. The overall story was a little predictable, but I didn’t mind it. There were a few shocks around the end that even I didn’t see coming though. I’d recommend this book to someone that wants a quick read that still drags you into the story with a tight grip.

This was pretty solid for a YA debut. It got a little bit repetitive towards the middle, and it was fairly predictable, but the beginning and the ending were fun. The romance wasn't super believable, but it was entertaining and cute. I would say that it gave me similar vibes to Throne of Glass, although there are no fae involved in this one. I am definitely interested in reading some of Tricia Levenseller's adult books.

Pretty good book overall! The rising action(s) weren’t particularly amazing, but the climax and falling action(s) were executed well.
Upon finishing this book, I don’t see how the main character Alosa could be sold as a “female Jack Sparrow”. The only things the two characters have in common being they are both pirates and both enjoy being pirates. Both characters are great, but it’s difficult to compare the similarities of their personalities; they are on opposite ends of the spectrum so take the selling point with a grain of salt.
A classic enemies to lovers trope, which I feel was executed pretty well.
The conflicts had good structure but maybe could’ve been beefed up by better execution of scenes/dialogue. A handful of scenes felt out of left field. 3.5/5⭐️

I didn’t expect to love this book as much as I do. 
Beginning the novel I was thinking I would give it a 3/3.5 because while it’s fun, the writing isn’t remarkable. 
However, while these things still hold true, I have a soft spot for pirates and the fantastical elements worked well. 
Furthermore, I love the back-and-forth relationship between the protagonist and the love interest and really appreciate the author for sticking to the slow burn. 
As a last point, the fact that the protagonist is pretty much like “ugh men🙄” throughout the entire book is very amusing to me and I absolutely agree with her.
