I've been eagerly awaiting The Pirate's Wish ever since I put down The Assassins Curse. Even though I pre-ordered the book, I couldn't wait any longer and gave in and bought the kindle book cause I just HAD to know what happened.
I'm so glad I gave into temptation.
The Pirate's Wish was a fantastic conclusion to Cassandra Rose Clarke's amazing world. I'm sad to say that it is ending only after two books, but I'm very happy with the conclusion... even though I would have like a little epilogue or something just a bit more!
I think the best thing about this series is that Naiji and Ananna don't instantaneously fall in love, it takes time for both of them to figure out their feelings. They don't magically figure it out at the same time either, which is another factor into why I love this series so much. The romance isn't the focal point of the book... a lot of other things happen.
Everything happens really fast, but not in a bad way, sure I would have loved another book - but that's only because I just enjoyed every minute of this fantastic world and the colourful character's that Clarke created, it would have been nice to have some of the little things explained more clearly.
The Manticore is one of my favourite characters of all time, I thought she was was quite hilarious in the way she became friends with Ananna, calling her Girl-Human and demanding things from her... naturally Ananna, being the nice Girl-Human-Pirate she is decided hey, if she isn't eating them, why not become buddies with the flesh eating monster, because it wasn't the manticores fault she was born with the taste for human flesh.
Yes, you read that right. Ananna is great, the Manticore is great, the book is great... you should read it.
I must say I was expecting a bit more hardship with the undoing of the curse, Yes it was really hard. Not saying they were slacking or anything, but even though I think it was very well done, at the same time after clearing the third hurdle I was just left thinking 'oh, that's it?' probably just because the way it happened. (Which I wont spoil!)
So even though I think things happened very quickly, Cassandra Rose Clarke did an amazing job with clearing up all the loose ends from the first book as well as everything that happened in The Pirate's Wish. I'll be eagerly awaiting more books from her in the future!
