[Abi]

Ananna of the Tanarau abandons ship when her parents try to marry her off to another pirate clan. But that only prompts the scorned clan to send an assassin after her. When Ananna faces him down one night, armed with magic she doesn't really know how to use, she accidentally activates a curse binding them together.

Chapter 1

(view spoiler)[Oy vey. This is going to be one long, long book. The way she talks / thinks is so annoying. I think it wouldn't be as annoying if it was just the way she talked and not really the way she thought as well - but I guess that wouldn't make sense.

I'm just not used to this dialect and I don't think I really dig it... I wasn't expecting it since I was thinking of more middle-eastern vibes. (hide spoiler)]

(view spoiler)[I completely agree! That was my first thought when the book started. I don't think it would be as annoying if it wasn't narrated from her point of view. I'm only through the first chapter, so I haven't given it much of a chance yet. But I have to say so far, not it hasn't made me need to turn the page, you know!? (hide spoiler)]

(view spoiler)[Yeah, I understand completely! Are you still reading? I will give it another try if you are, but otherwise...

(Also, I heard 'The Forbidden Wish' or 'Rebels in the Sand' were good. Maybe those are better if you wanted to check them out). (hide spoiler)]
