I really enjoyed this book.I liked it more than Dragonfly in Amber. I would say it was just as good as the first book and really had me guessing what was going on until right near the end. Some really interesting new characters in the book and the return of some characters from Outlander that definitely caused intrigue. I was a bit disappointed that we didn't get to hear from Brianna near the end of the book so we have no idea how she is doing without any parents. This was a fun book to read overall and had so many elements to it, murder-mystery, pirates, adventure, magic. I'm looking forward to reading the next book in the series.
