The opening scene for this book was incredibly interesting and helped get me back into the world of The Daughter of the Pirate King books. I was so excited that this story focused on Sorinda from the other two books! Her character was my favorite from the original books. As always, Tricia Levenseller always presents various themes/messages throughout her books, which is why I always enjoy reading her books. This one in particular focuses on trauma, mental health, vulnerability, self-possession, and women’s empowerment. I really enjoyed the story; however, I found myself struggling near the middle of the book, but it was definitely worth not giving up on the story. I’m interested to see if the author will decide to write any more books based on characters from this book. I’d be interested to read one about Roslyn or a dual POV of Niridia and Mandsy storyline mentioned in the book. Also, this was a perfect little read for the winter in my opinion! Highly Recommend! 

Thank you Macmillan Children’s Publishing Group, for sending me an arc of this phenomenal book in exchange for an honest review.  Thank you Net Galley, for fiving me the opportunity to read and review books. Lastly, thank you Tricia Levenseller for writing a beautiful and meaningful work of fiction.
