I loved this book it was as good or better than the ones involving Alosa I loved reading more about Sorinda and Kearan their slow to start love story. I loved the characters so much the ones from before and new ones and learning more about the ones that are established as well. I especially loved Sorinda and Kearan it takes awhile for her to accept Kearan for many reasons at lot of it is her childhood trauma and how it shaped the rest of her life up until now. I loved her bravery and how she sees certain things and how she finally believed she deserved love and a happy life. I loved Kearan even if he can be a bit persistent he knows when to back off and slow down I loved how he expressed his love for Sorinda. I loved the plot it starts with Sorinda assassinating someone bad moves on to things about Kearan and then to her going to find lost pirates many things happen along the way she tries to fight falling in love fails and gets the acceptance she very much needed about what happened when she was a child other things happen the day is saved and there is a happy ever after.
