3.0

Positives:
-pirates, duh
-good banter
- the "only one bed" trope
-utterly bingeable

Negatives
- a self-centered, egomaniac heroine
- "more show, less tell"
- forced romance / not believable enough for me
-shaky plot because of the romance, which was also not done well

Alosa was truly inspiring for me ,you don't read often about a female captain who posses traditionally  feminine and masculine qualities at the same time.I fell in love with her wit and fiery temper but also with her compassion and  intelligence.

This is a great book to get you out of a reading slump! The action never stops, and the romance is amazing. It has a badass female main character, and it’s an enemies to lovers. Good plot twist, and of course PIRATES. Lots of good vibes.

It's an easy read and good for reading slumps. It'll get you up and going. The story's plot didn't come off unpredictable but more of a smooth transition, it makes you get lost in imagination and binge over. I'm excited to see more of Alosa and Riden moments in the next book.

i loved alosa’s siren characterization the most out of anything in this book. it was so real and intense

overall this book was pretty basic in plot and very straightforward but there were plenty of scenes i enjoyed. i loved alosa and her character development, and same with riden, but the other characters were lacking.
