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.

Okay so this was the first time in a while I picked up the next book of a series without rereading previous books. That didn’t create a problem apart from trying to familiarise myself with the characters again.

Also hellooooo?? Did anyone notice a huge step up in the graphic content 😳 I definitely would put this in upper YA because I…an adult now…was even disturbed at some of the scenes and events that happened. Also a step up in the steamy scenes but that’s still fade to black. I’m talking about the cannibals creeping me tf out 😬

Anyways, I really enjoyed Alosa and her loyalty to her crew. She goes through a lot and comes out strong every time. Some parts are still a little petty/childish like holding a grudge for something that the other person clearly explained why it happened (if you know, you know) 

Yeah, overall a solid book! Much more darker and disturbing but lighthearted enough in between to still feel comfortable and safe while reading

This is truly everything I wanted in a pirate book. Like its kind of perfect as far as what kinds of things I wanted  out of a pirate book and I loved it. I will for sure be buying this series for my shelves.

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!
