I'm not entirely certain as to how I should be rating this book. I really liked the plot line. I LOVED Hawk and Roc. I enjoyed the twists and turns the story took as you though one thing only to have it disproved and then in a great turn about have what you thought be true, that was awesome! Sadly I really could have done with out Skye. Yes, she had a strong sprite, and it was awesome to have her fight with a sword and be good at it. But DAMNED if she didn't remind me of Scarlett O'Hara! And I'm not sorry to say that I HATE, HATE, HATE Scarlett O'Hara! Skye just seem's to rebel for no reason other than to be contrary, if you told her that the sky was blue she would argue that it was purple. She acts like a spoiled rotten brat and for some unknown reason Roc fall's in love with her, yeah I totally don't see it. I might try to read another one of these books but as of right now reviews shall be read before consumption of said book and if there is even a hint of another girl like Skye then said book shall never be read.

I tried to finish it but it was taking me too much time getting though it. I was not enjoying it enough.

Comparada con la anterior de la serie, esta es una maravilla, aunque no es un novelón, sobre todo porque es muuuuuuuy larga (o, al menos, a mí me lo ha parecido). Aquí nos encontramos con unos descendientes de los protagonistas del primer libro, pero no hijos o nietos, ya que pasan casi cien años entre un libro y otro (así nos evitamos ver cómo estiran la pata XD). Un lord y un pirata de tres patas en la época de Barbanegra y una damisela de esas tipo Claire Fraser de Outlander, de las que están todo el libro dando por Cullen y haciendo justo lo que les dicen que no hagan. El libro me ha parecido bastante entretenido, la verdad, y eso que soy fan de las aventuras de piratas. El problema, como os he comentado antes, es que es excesivamente largo y Heather Graham utiliza el manido recurso de "te quiero pero te odio y damos dos pasitos p'alante, María, y un pasito p'atrááááás" demasiadas veces, lo que a mí ya me estaba poniendo un poco al borde de leer en diagonal. Vemos casi todo el libro desde la perspectiva de la protagonista porque hay un secreto secretoso (cuyo truco se ve desde el principio) que el maromo sabe y ella, no. Pero claro, eso hace que pasemos demasiado tiempo con ella y, si bien al principio te gusta porque es una mujer con dos ovarios, según avanza el libro te acaba cansando porque su cabeza es un nido de demasiados pensamientos de los que estás deseando escapar (esto lo solucionaba yo metiendo tajos por doquier). Él, totalmente maravilloso, y con la paciencia de un santo. Heather Graham aquí decide dejar el bodice-rippismo de lado, per en ciertos momentos lo bordea (cosas de piratas, chicas, que una vez en su poder tienes que hacer lo que ellos te ordenan...). Y, a pesar de haber disfrutado poco con el primer libro de la saga, me alegro de haberlo leído ya que aquí se hacen referencias a los protagonistas y podemos ver cómo ha florecido el sueño que Jamie y Jassy comenzaron a crear. En fin, que el libro es entretenido pero le lastra la extensión y la cantidad de pistos que mete. Por cierto, no he visto en la vida una protagonista que salga volando más veces que esta, qué barbaridad.

Bad old-school romance full of rape, gaslighting, kidnapping, imprisonment, torture porn, and racism. Tries to dance around one character owning a plantation - slaves are referred to as "tenants." Negative slurs about indigenous Americans.
Heroine is a complete fool who spends the whole book running into danger as she repeatedly tries to escape the men trying to rape her. The men spend most of the book gaslighting her. Her clothes get ripped off a lot, if you're into humiliation.
