This was very fun and more entertaining than the first book I think. Good conclusion although I think it would have benefitted from an epilogue.

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.
