The writing was utterly captivating, very lyrical and fast paced that I was sucked along. He always had another scheme up his sleeve to try if his daring plan failed. I loved the way he interacted with his crew – and their banter. She didn’t have to change to be loved.Įlian was as tricksy and cunning as you’d want from a pirate/prince. I loved that love didn’t soften her – it just made her stronger and wilder. It’s easy to understand why she is so vicious, and to identify with the pressures that make her who she is. It’s more obvious in Lira, and it’s lovely to have a savage main character who is still relatable. Lira and Elian are both killers, half-feral. However, the romance is subtle, balanced by the swashbuckling and brutal – so very brutal – story. The moment a book is described as having a romance as the main story thread, I get very wary. I picked it up because I’d heard everyone talking about it, and it was reasonably cheap so I thought I ought to try it.
