5.0

I've found an affinity for pirate books over the past few years, and particularly ones with female main characters. I really enjoyed the first book in this series, but I think I actually preferred this one. There was more depth to the characters and the story drew me in right from the beginning. I would love to see this series eventually get adapted for a film or TV series, and the author definitely provides plenty of material to work with. This was some of the best multi-layered storytelling I've read in a while.

I couldn't find a tag for this, but there were many times when Alosa used her Siren abilities against the will of the person she used them on.

i wish i read this right after book 1 so it could have felt like one giant book. still, this one had its wits, a sea breeze and cut throat moments. flaws here and there but pirates nevertheless.
