I'm going to give it 3.5 stars because it entertained me enough to keep reading after I was a bit put off by the romance. I love that it was a pirate book. I don't think I've read anything that was pirate related so it was very refreshing. The pace was great and the writing was very smooth.

Action, drama. I enjoyed it all. All Alosa smartness her funniness.

Read by Marisa Calin

This was good but not great. It's like a combination of Pirates of the Caribbean and Carriger's Espionage & Etiquette, but with more blood and violence, and less fun.

Full confession: from about the 60% mark to the 80% mark, I drifted in and out of sleep while listening to this audiobook (because I was in bed with a migraine), and I didn't feel like I missed anything.

I was fine with the romance parts, but I'm the type of reader who thinks a romance livens up almost any book. ...more
