Was this character only added to make the book more ~diverse? This is not really a spoiler, since it really has no effect on the plot. This happens all in the span of one chapter. But I find it awful, demeaning, and overall offensive? This character is introduced, used merely as a plot twist to make the main character feel better about herself, and subsequently killed off. If anyone has read this book already, feel free to correct me. NOTE2: I have checked the final copy of this book and yes, this book still includes the problematic issue regarding an LGBTQ character, so I will be rating this down to 2 stars.Īt this time, I have some real reservations about how a certain LGBTQ character is used in this book. That said, this review is a bit all over the place. As someone who wants to read more inclusive LGBTQ books, I did find that this book (in the ARC version at least) does have something worth pointing out. There is one chapter in particular in the e-ARC that I do not like, for reasons I’ve listed at the end of this review. NOTE: This is kind of weird, but I feel like this review should come with a disclaimer? I wrote this review right after I finished reading the book back in November. Can Alosa find the map and escape before Riden figures out her plan? REVIEW Now it’s down to a battle of wits and will. After all, who’s going to suspect a seventeen-year-old girl locked in a cell? Then she meets the (surprisingly perceptive and unfairly attractive) first mate, Riden, who is charged with finding out all her secrets. Leaving behind her beloved ship and crew, Alosa deliberately facilitates her own kidnapping to ensure her passage on the ship, confident in her ability to overcome any obstacle. When the ruthless pirate king learns of a legendary treasure map hidden on an enemy ship, his daughter, Alosa, knows there’s only one pirate for the job-herself.
