What I liked:
* A crew of badass female pirates - sign me up for this premise!
* It took me a bit to settle in and feel invested with where the story picks up, but once I got settled I had a hard time getting it down.
* This book has an extremely fast pace. This kept me invested in all the action especially because I did love all the supporting characters and felt they had strong personalities through the whole book.
What I struggled with:
* At times I wished there was more scene setting and detail. For example, I thought the main character was far older than she is until the very end. I also liked her a lot less in this book. She's very selfish and impulsive and not self-aware at all. I wanted a little more growth from her - we get some by the end, but I felt frustrated a lot during this book. I love Riden but the romance plot felt underdeveloped and thus unbelievable in this book.
Overall, I enjoyed this and I'm glad to have returned to this sequel. This isn't my favorite YA series, but it's a fun and different type of YA fanrasy that is still a nice change of pace!
