Capitana is a Latinx inspired pirate/pirate hunter book with some of my favourite things; a female character that is physically and emotionally strong

(even if Ximena had a cult-like devotion to the Law)

, a skewed understanding of politics & justice and of course PIRATES! It was an enjoyable read, though I think Ximena's character development came really late in the book. Dante's new mission really makes me want the second book as soon as possible.

Apparently the author is ‘pro life’ which I don’t agree with, but I thought it was a fun, easy read. I would read book two.
