Cassandra Rose Clarke creates a wonderful conclusion to her
series The Assassin’s Curse. In The
Pirate’s Wish we catch up with Ananna and Naji.
Ananna is the daughter of a pirate and Naji is the assassin sent to kill
her after she snubbed another pirate’s son’s proposal. By some twist of fate Ananna ends up saving
the assassin’s life, and a curse befalls him.
He cannot part with Ananna, for he must give a life for a life. He must protect her or suffer physical
pain. Together they have stayed
supporting each other. In this book these
two are on a journey to break Naji’s curse.
Before the curse can be broken Naji must do the following three
impossible tasks: hold the princess’s starstones skin against stone, create
life out of violence, and experience true love’s kiss. If you
read the exciting tale of The Assassin’s Curse (Book 1), then you are aware of
Ananna’s feelings for Naji. That being
said, at least one of those tasks is plausible.
This story has the same hijinks as the first book, but with
new characters. A manticore is the new
guiding character in this book, and unlike the last book where we had the witches
out to get Naji the manticore helps further their journey. Secrets,
surprise appearances and swash buckling adventure waits in this book. I am glad I didn’t miss it, make sure you don’t.
4/5 stars!!!
Thanks Net Galley
