But the book picked up, and I honestly enjoyed it.
I am obsessed with the main character. Alosa is the definition of a bad@ss female who retains her femininity. It's clear in the first book as well -- she'll withhold confidential information through literal torture, but she breaks when he threatens to cut her hair. There were moments like that in this book, and the descriptions of her outfits were so well done also. I'm obsessed with her wardrobe (I wish it was socially acceptable to dress like a fashionable pirate in the 21st century).
The romance was a bit slow, but yes...it paid off. The characterizations and personalities of Alosa and Riden were so clear and well-written. I feel like I know them. It worked so well, even when it didn't.
Read if you like(d):
x Daughter of the Pirate King (it's worth it)
I'm looking forward for the third installment of the series because I *need* to see more of Alosa and her crew and where their journey takes them next.
