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!

I didn’t have any expectations going into this so I was positively surprised! Such a fun read! I loved the banter, I loved Alosa, I loved Riden.

Riden and Alosa are everything.

Their prisoner/captor dynamic? Straight out of my before-bed scenarios. And

he takes her to his room?!

 

There's definitely some content warnings regarding both gore and smut. Nothing super graphic, but multiple men try some things.

She doesn't castrate Draxen, though. The power of love for Riden, I guess.

The book has highs and lows because some intense emotions are explored, but there's plenty of comedy relief to counteract that.

Just/ everything really.

Phenomenal characters. Unique scenery. Epic battles. And so much fun. 

* One criticism, though (why it's not 5 stars), this book was published in 2017 and there is so much heterosexuality and gender binary- It's hard to wade through. I mean, it's literally part of Alosa's abilities, but the constant "men fall under my spell" and "I can make men do what I want" and no effect whatsoever on any of the women on her crew? It's tiring.

Oh, and the apparent only gay man in this entire world?

Dead pretty dang quickly. </>
