 In the vast Caribbean Sea, pirates Jolly and Griffin are stranded on a tiny island where a peculiar architect is building an enormous bridge -- but to where? Another world? Before they can find out, the bridge bursts into flames and the kobalins attack. Jolly and Griffin have nowhere to run until the Ghost Trader mysteriously appears and carries them off to the magical coral city of Aelinium. It is from Aelinium that Jolly and Munk are supposed to descend far, far into the deep to keep out the world-devouring Maelstrom.

But Jolly isn't ready for that task. She wants to rescue Captain Bannon, the only father she ever knew, so she steals the ghost ship and sets sail. Griffin follows her, until he is trapped by the man in the whale. Princess Soledad has her own plans -- to kill Pirate Emperor Kendrick. But the truly terrifying cannibal king stands in her way. Is Soledad ready to become the new pirate emperor?


My Opinion:

This book is very interesting. Jolly and Munk's friendship has definitely changed. Jolly has started rethinking about this whole saving the world business, because all she wants to do is be a pirate. If i ever read a book where the main character just went along with saving the world and not thinking about it first, I would think they were crazy. I would be like they have the wrong person the whole time, until the climax of the story where I have a change of heart. Jolly just went through that and I loved her character more for it. Sadly though Munk started getting on my nerves. I'm glad not many of the chapters were narrated by him. All in all, this book was great and in my opinion much better than the first one. I can't wait to read the next book.
