All will be spoilers below this

• I really liked this book! It went by really fast and the follow up from the first book its quite strong in my opinion.
• The characters become more lovable in this book but omg alosa is so annoying sometimes. She’s a bad bitch and such a good leader, careless for herself but it’s the typical situation of the strong character putting themselves at risk all the time. Never letting anyone help them and that is a trope I don’t mind in a small portion but it never comes in a small portion.
• Riden is a very nice book boyfriend. Just the kind of boyo I like.
• This book also had me feeling a bit more of the feels this time considering the incident with Roslyn and the loss of a few members of the crew that I had grown to like
• I also really liked that we got to see more of the world this time around. Not just the settings of a ship 
• +10 for the sierens. But the reason from them not having a tail is beyond me. I get it for the fighting bit and them having a tail wouldn’t really work when they jump on board the ship. But whyyy??
• Would recommend this book if you like enemies to lovers and pirates and the hole world and scenery that they bring.

I loved this book! It is so much more than I anticipated after reading the first book. I loved the characters, the action, the story, etc. The romance made me want to throw the book against a wall sometimes but in the end it was wonderful and well worth it. Definitely recommend.

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!
