But I will fully admit that I gave book 1 a chance because of the pretty edges.
Book 2, surprisingly, didn’t suffer from the issue sequels can, especially in a trilogy. We met new characters, received more insight into Alosa’s powers and her crew. And I loved the descriptions in the book.
This was an adventure on the high seas that I greatly enjoyed!

The characters said exactly what they meant and wanted and felt, except Alosa. Levels of clear communication and self-awareness that would be commendable in real people but all the conflict that is supposed to come from those missed connections just evaporated with little to replace it.
Again, entertaining, kept me engaged enough to read it in a day, but when the only moment I felt tense was when
It's a shame because I did enjoy all the individual tropes, this should have been an easy win. Just goes to show, tension serves a purpose.
