Magic, pirates and destiny.

I wasn't sure what to expect from this story, but it didn't disappoint. It has fantastic traction and gets better and better as you read, introducing characters in a fashion that gives you time to get a real feel for them. The latter half of this story really had me hooked and I didn't want to put it down.

The character dynamics, conflicts and growth really are given time to shine in this, and the beautifully described surroundings and engagements truly tie the whole story together.

I very much look forward to the next book in this duology.
