I love standalones, but if a book can't tell the whole story, then I love duologies. It's just a preference of mine. I'll of course read series (and do often), but I tend to find them to have a lot of unnecessary fluff to fill the pages. Not here.

Everything felt necessary to the plot, while continuing to develop the characters into fully fleshed out individuals with charm and flaws and so much adventure. It was just action packed and filled with very real consequences to Alosa's mission.

I thoroughly enjoyed it.

My only complaint(ish - that doensn't spoil anything) was the introduction of too many secondary or extremely minor characters. I understood the overall purpose behind it, but I felt that Alosa could have still evolved in the manner that the author was portraying with less characters.

Other than that small issue, I appreciated a pirate book filled with piratey adventures and the consequences of that career path. My other main complaint would spoil too much of the story, but it has to do with Alosa. If you're interested, I don't mind talking about it in the comments.

This is just a fun duology that's fast paced, filled with strong female characters, adventure, and genuinely human bad guys. I recommend it for sure, if you don't mind that with some blah romance as well.
