Alosa is such a badass, seriously she never gives up even when things go to shit and when it seems like there isn’t a way out she keeps going until she finds it. She’s very sarcastic too. This book was even better than the first one. It was still super cool, funny and exciting, but now it had an even faster pacing and we get into more depth with the characters and relationships. Overall, a decent conclusion to this series! It certainly isn’t a perfect book/series; however it surely keep your attention with all the constant-action and love-hate relationship going on between Alosa and Riden & I’m glad to have read it. The forge has always been Ziva’s safe space, a place to avoid society and the anxiety it causes her, but now it is her prison, and she’s not sure just how much of herself she’ll have to sacrifice to save Kellyn before she takes center stage in the very war she’s been trying to stop.
I will probably continue on with the duology, mostly because I want to visit the home of the sirens. I think a young Meg would have enjoyed this a bit more. The Darkness within Us is a companion novel to The Shadows Between Us. It can be read without reading the first book. There are different kind of fathers. Those who love unconditionally, those who love on condition, and those who never love at all. Which would you say he is?”
She is strong, intelligent and extremely loyal to her own crew. Also we see how the siren part of her gets stronger and more developed. During her preparations for her mission, she hadn't anticipated the strong influence of the clever and handsome Riden, the first mate and brother to the captain of the ship. As tension mounts aboard the ship, and time runs low to find the map, Alosa and Riden’s bond strengthens, and the plot takes an entirely unforeseen twist before reaching its dramatic conclusion.
This was a lot of fun!! 🤩🤩 once again I FLEW through it and ended up thinking it was a great conclusion to the series! Really enjoyable 🏴☠️🏴☠️💗💗 Aye, Captain." He lifts the tricorne off my head and runs his fingers through my hair. "I'll sail with you anywhere. I don't care where we go it what we do as long as I'm with youAlosa as a pirate is something that you wouldn't want to cross on a bad day. She is not only loved, but respected beyond measure for her tenacity and will to win no matter what circumstances in which she might find herself. She also seems to grow quite a bit over the course of this book when she finds out more about her family and upbringing and a few things she didn't know as well. Her father might not be everything she thought he was, but cutting ties with him might be just what she needed to become everything she was meant to be. But freeing herself from the Pirate King is no easy task and it will take the whole crew to pull off this insane feat. If there is one crew who could manage it though, it would be that of the Ava Lee . The ending is pretty good, in terms of how it wraps up. There isn't a cliffhanger, but it is clear that the story must (should) continue. I think this is a two-book series, which sounds good to me! I love the duology trend in YA publishing these days. The second ability is being able to "read a person’s emotions, but this ability does not require nourishment from the sea. It is something [she] innately possess.” She is unable to read minds but she sees colors that represent their emotions. As a child, she would practice using this skill on her father's men. (Red is the hardest color to interpret). This ability does not require any sea water to use, but using this power too much will cause her to lose herself to her Siren side. There's something about a Lady Pirate that I can definitely get behind. The setting was fun and Riden was a swoon-worthy love interest. This was the first time I've stayed up late to finish a book in a while 😅 It was completely accidental, but I really enjoyed the story and couldn't put it down so here we are 🤷 This seems to keep happening to me with pirate books!
Great Deal
