Yesssss!
Latinx transmasculine non binary pirate with ability to manipulate fire and ice tries to not make their father's mistake and make deals with El Diablo.
But some circonstances call for desperate measures...
I really enjoyed this book. A fun yet emotional ride. With interesting characters looking for their family and finding a new one.
It was so great to see Latinx pirates, especially since pirates are so often in the Caribbean and yet so rarely presented as Latine.
If I were to be a little critic, I'd say the slow-burn romance and the found family elements, two of my favourite tropes ever, could have been a little more present. They're there, but just slightly. And it could have been amped a bit. It would have made it even more emotional and tugged at all of my heartstrings.
