Trigger warnings: bullying, gun violence, war, blood
I had extremely mixed feelings about the first book in this series, but this one was kind of delightful. 20-something woman decides she wants to see the world so disguises herself as a boy with plans of stowing away on board her brother's friend's ship. Except then she ends up on the wrong ship and everything goes awry.
I read the entire book in one sitting on a plane and it was essentially exactly what I needed while trapped in a flying metal cylinder of other people's farts. It required zero brain cells and I had a lovely time with it. Was it predictable? Kind of, yes. Did I care? Not in the slightest.
