Good start to an interesting series

This book follows Gaia after she was kidnapped and lost her memory. She is independent and witty, and even though she continually gets kidnapped she seems to find her way into people's good graces. There is a nicely wrapped ending that sets up for the second book while not leaving an annoying cliffhanger.

My only critique is that it's hard to establish an era for the setting. The royalty aspects, pirates, and some of the dialogue seems medieval, but there's small modern bits that indicate a more present time era.
