I really enjoyed this book. After returning home for her mom and her sister, nothing was anything like Soren expected. She's back in the the group home with her sister who doesn't seem to need her anymore. So when she sees in a vision that her crew is in trouble, so heads back to Tarotland armed with new information, new powers, and a quest for revenge. And it gets darker from there.

While I wasn't certain the first book in the series was dark fantasy, this one certainly is. There is an attempted rape, multiple murders, magic trafficking (capturing humans with magic and sucking them dry), even fights between shifters trapped in their animal forms. All hope seems lost on many fronts. This is not a happily ever after sort of story.

So why did I enjoy this? Well, it was incredibly imaginative. So many twists that I didn't see coming. And also pirates are fun. We definitely need more books with pirates. And there is something satisfying about seeing actions with real consequences, rather than people always lucking their way out of things. And hope is never completely lost. That said, there had better be a voyage to the deep in book three, because some things, er people, should never be lost.

Soren and Nkella and their friends were a delight to adventure with, even in their darkest moments. And I'm ready for more.

I copy edited this book, so feel free to ignore any bias in my review.… (more)
