After setting out to break the curse that binds them together, the pirate Ananna and the assassin Naji find themselves stranded on an enchanted island in the north with nothing but a sword, their wits, and the secret to breaking the curse: complete three impossible tasks. With the help of their friend Marjani and a rather unusual ally, Ananna and Naji make their way south again, seeking what seems to be beyond their reach.Unfortunately, Naji has enemies from the shadowy world known as the Mists, and Ananna must still face the repercussions of going up against the Pirate Confederation. Together, Naji and Ananna must break the curse, escape their enemies — and come to terms with their growing romantic attraction.

Stranded on a dangerous magical island, Naji and Ananna encounter foes at every turn. But as they make their way off the island, and find a way to break Naji’s curse, they may realize that nothing ever goes as planned, including falling in love.YES!Okay, not going to lie. I PLOWED through this book after reading The Assassin’s Curse, which I loved. And The Pirate’s Wish is perfect ending to this duology. Ananna is still feisty but through the second book, we see her mature and experience some growing pains, including some very humiliating situations. My heart went out to her every time.Naji is an assassin, eager to rid himself of this curse. But, like most boys, he’s confused by the growing affections he has towards his friend Ananna. And their relationship for most of the book is filled with misunderstandings and strenuous encounters.Marjani is still leading her crew, and taking care of Naji and Ananna. She’s a wonderfully warm and human character. Her motherly advise and sweet talks with Ananna allow us to see both of them as complicated women and Marjani anchors the other characters, who are so seeped in magic, to life/warmth/heart.Oh, and I’m not even going to start on the manticore. Hilarious.I totally fell in love with these characters and honestly, I’m sad to leave them behind!The plot moves just as fast as the first book. There’s adventure and pirates, princesses and shady crew members. Most of all, this book is filled with creativity! Strange hybrid animals and machines, the settings and enemies are so much fun. It’s Pirates of the Carribbean with magic.And most of all, I loved the ending.

(Recap) The Assassin's CurseI re- read The Assassin's Curse to gear up for The sequel. I have been waiting FOR.EV.ER. to get my hands on The Pirate's Wish. You can see my gushing/ fangirling review from last year HERE. Seeing as how, this was one of my top 3 favorite books of last year (okay, top 2) You guys know me and my affinity for all things assassin and Pirate. I still love this book so much. I had pre-ordered it last year after I read the eARC from Netgalley. Needless to say, I have already pre- pre- ordered The Pirate's wish as well. :D Seriously, people. I have been waiting forever for this moment and I have such high hopes for this book!

One of my favorite fantasy books of last year was The Assassin's Curse I fell in love with Ananna and Naji and was absolutely beside myself with excitement when I received the sequel, THE PIRATE'S WISH. I was actually in the middle of another book at the time and dropped it like a hot potato, because I couldn't wait another second to read about my favorite pirate and assassin's continuing adventures.The sequel picks up right where book one left off. Ananna and Naji are stranded on a dangerous island, and it's beginning to take its toll. They're snappy, on edge, and it seems that the fragile trust and friendship they built in book one is on the verge of a total collapse. Even if they do escape the island (which of course they do - it wouldn't be much of a story if they didn't), the impossible curse that binds their lives together continues to hang over both their heads.Breaking the curse is the driving force behind the entire book. The first task is completed rather quickly, but the remaining two are not so easily checked off the list. Throw in more assassins, more pirates, a hilarious yet deadly manticore, and the story gets busy, fast. The nice thing is, it doesn't feel busy. Unlike some fantasy novels I have read, the plot doesn't devolve into an epic, complicated mess with too many storylines and characters to keep track of. The world Cassandra Rose Clarke has created is very easy to dive into, and the writing is simply superb, filled with just the right amount of imagery and emotion to capture the hearts of readers. It certainly did mine!Ananna is a bit more angst-ridden and insecure in this book, and at times I found myself missing the spirited heroine I met in Assassin's Curse.
