My feelings for this book are stronger than the first one. I loved the character development, both in terms of Alosa’s relationship to her father and her relationship to Riden. We got to see more of Riden’s motivations too. I really hated the miscommunication trope and feel like both Alosa and Riden were bad listeners and also bad communicators for the first half of the book. But eventually they started talking lol. This book was definitely more gruesome than the first one, and I gasped out loud multiple times. I’m glad with how it all turned out, and how the story wrapped up nicely. What an adventure of a story! So many twists and turns.

[NO SPOILERS]
such a good fantasy read. i would highly recommend for ages 15 and above. please check the content warnings before reading though. it might be too overwhelming for some people. i would not recommend this book as like the very first book you read as a teen. start with something more lighthearted and easy to read. read this after like 5 different books or so. its a really good book for getting into fantasy though! 

(the content warnings i've put is for both the first and second book of this duology)

I love it! The sequel from the first book has a nice turn as it picked up where it was last written. It's a struggle of trust and insane battles fought while letting your mind lost to the story. It made me think how cruel parents either end up making their children a replication of horror like themselves or an empath hollowed with all those traumatic events - gradually relearning and reliving that life can once again, sail on right seas. While reading, it was easy to stride in with imagination as I took references with the movie I've watched on my childhood, "The Pirates of the Caribbean". Another lesson to ponder over was the inclination towards greed for power and honour, without compassion and love it has been an eye opener that this imbalance pulls inhumanity over certain selfishness which can take many years but if not realized is left with karma - death.

I loved the first book and I love this one even more. The cliff hangers at the end of the chapters are great and make you not want to put the book down. <Spoiler> Since Alosa finds out her fathers secret she goes against him and compared to finding the map in the first book she actually goes to the Isla de Canta and she’s met with so many challenges and adventures

. Overall, great book and I hope you give the series a try!
