“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.
