Brilliant! Definitely a must read. Alosa is such a strong female protagonist who knows how to fight, puck locks, and escape. And not to mention, she is the captain of a pirate ship, Ava-lee. One aspect that I really liked in her and admired her for is her carness for her crew. While most captin will just let their crew suffer and give themselves the best in everything, Alosa actually cares for her crew and is willing to do everything in her power to help them no matter the circumstances. This, of course, includes not giving herself as much as she could have. 
 Though Draxen's ship is bigger than mine, I've opted for more rooms up top rather than larger captain's quarters for myself. Since I actually care about my crew, I've had a room fashioned for treating injuries. 
 Riden, the main male character of the book, is also a super interesting character to read about. He is super loyal and cares about others. Though even after the entire book, a lot about him is still in the unknown. He is a man surrounded by mysteries, which I am super excited to get to know more about in the sequel. 
 I stare at his closed eyelids. His deep, even breaths. His full lips. He's a strange man. Strange for having saved me. Strange for fighting so hard to save his awful brother. Strange for not fighting for what he wants - whatever that may be. 
 Overall, I really really enjoyed this book and will definitely continue to follow Alosa and Riden's journey while they search for the last third of the map. And I am super excited to get to know more about the crew on Ava-lee. Definitely recommend.
