This was my first Alli Temple book. Her work in Uncharted was a good assortment of adventure, with Kings and Queens and Pirate ships. The plot was well executed and the characters were well developed and progressed nicely. I never felt like the pace was too fast or too slow. The dialogue between characters felt in line with their character. I gave this book a 3/5 star rating. It’s worth adding to your TBR.
**Spoiler Alert**
