The Pirate's Wish picks up where The Assassin's Curse left off, with Ananna and Naji stranded on a magical island. Naji's gone into full overprotective mode and Ananna's going stir crazy. That's the biggest thing I like about Ananna - from the beginning she's never once let anyone look after her and always followed her own path, no matter how much trouble that gets her in, which is usually quite a lot. 
 The fantasy was just as good as it was in The Assassin's Curse. New characters are added in the shape of a female Pirate captain and a fantastical creature called a Manticore. I loved the Manticore and felt that she was a great addition to the story, especially as she helped towards breaking the curse. 
 The romance is here again and due to the circumstances it's not an easy one. I was surprised when Naji learnt of Ananna's feelings for him pretty quickly but happy - until he tried to ignore it for most of the book! I just wanted the to get together. One scene later on felt to a slap to the face to be honest, nothing that either of them did though. 
 The ending was perfect. They solved what needed to be solved, there were a few surprises and I was left wanting more at the ending without feeling cheated. I would happily read a third book from them, but it did end in the right place.
