Aleja loves to read
about pirates and adventures, but is stuck helping in her family’s tavern in
Seville. One day she wants to be an explorer, no matter what anyone says about
it not being proper for a woman, and she gets her wish much sooner than she
expects. When she is driven out of town by counterfeiters and hides on The Ship of Shadows they take her away
while continuing on their mission. They’ll drop her back in a few months, but
will she want to leave?
What a wonderful
adventure! Aleja fits right in with the magical ship and her all female crew. But
they are wary and don’t really trust her until she proves herself over and over
again. This is everything Aleja has ever wanted, but she misses her family and
worries about what they are thinking since she just up and disappeared. But
right now she has to help her new friends find what they are searching for. And
she’s having fun while doing that.
Action-packed and full
of new experiences this pirate tale is different and exciting. The characters
shine and the plot moves swiftly along under full sail. My favorite character
is the ship. How cool is it? Totally cool! The author is unbelievably creative
when it comes to the ship and it’s magic. I didn’t get to see much of the
villain who is chasing them, but he seems to be an asshat that needs a good
beating. The story has a conclusion, but the adventure has not yet ended. I
look forward to seeing where The Ship of
Shadows sails next and whether Aleja will be joining the crew for all time
or will she scurry home to her family. I bet I know the answer to that.
