4.0

I enjoyed this installment more than the first novel.  Elosa's character becomes more developed and the reader can admire the ways in which she grows, takes care of her crew, and learns to deal with her emotions.  There is still a lot of violence and death, which, for some reason strikes me as callous and ruthless in a way it doesn't on a TV or movie.  However, it seems less out of place in book two, since it thematically aligns with the way in which sirens are contradictions, innocent in some ways despite their survival relying on manipulation and murder.

This book was a fun read. I definitely loved the setting and the characters. I especially loved that we got to meet more of the crew, and I absolutely loved Roslyn. However, I did rate it lower than the first book because I felt that it mostly ignored the possible romances, which I was quite excited to read about. I would be elated if we got some short stories to get insight on what happens after this book. I have to say though, I really appreciated how this book explored Alosa’s relationship with her mother. I definitely let out some audible gasps with this book.
