While searching for stolen dragon eggs, newly engaged couple Kianthe and Reyna find themselves smack-dab in the middle of a swashbuckling love story.
On one side is Serina, a failed farmer turned river pirate. Her booty? Wheat, grains, and the occasional jar of imported tea leaves. It's quite the embarrassment to Diarn Arlon, the powerful lord of the Nacean River, and he'll conscript anyone to bring her to justice. Especially Kianthe, the elemental mage who just crashed his party, and her somewhat-scary fiancée.
Begrudgingly, the couple joins forces with Bobbie, one of Arlon's constables--who happens to be Serina's childhood friend. Bobbie is determined to capture the pirate before anyone else, but it would be a lot easier if Serina didn't absolutely loathe her now.
As Kianthe and Reyna watch this relation-shipwreck from afar, it quickly becomes apparent that these disaster lesbians need all the help they can get. Luckily, matchmaking is Reyna's favorite past time. The dragon eggs may have to wait.
My Review:
This book was so much fun to read! I really enjoyed the first one, and I was looking forward to their next adventure, and looking for the missing dragon eggs and getting caught up in pirates-yeah, it was such a good time!
We do still follow Kianthe and Reyna, but we also got Bobbie and Serina's perspective, which was great, they are a big focus of what was going on with this book, given that one is a pirate, and the other is the guard tasked with arresting her. That they were childhood friends, and are romantically in love, even though they deny it, was extra special!
Watching them as they went on this adventure, traveling up and down the Nacean River, was so much fun! Learning about the culture there-and how things have gone wrong, including the misunderstanding between Serina and Bobby, I couldn't get enough!
That ending though? Absolutely loved it, from the plan with the 3 different groups, and watching all those moving pieces came together, it was so satisfying, as well as taking down a powerful through awful means bad guy? So satisfying!
Loved reading this book and I'm so excited for book 3!
