Stolen from her family as a child, Aspasia has clawed her way up the ranks of Cyrus's black market empire to captain her own trading vessel--and she risks it all every time she uses her powerful magic to free as many women, children, and Elementae from slavery as she can.
But Cyrus is close to uncovering her secrets--not only that Aspasia is an air Elementa with the ability to sail her ship through the sky, but that she is also searching for her lost family. And if Aspasia can’t find her younger siblings before Cyrus does, she will never be able to break free.
Armed with her loyal crew full of Elementae and a new recruit who controls an intriguing power, Aspasia finds herself in the center of a brewing war that spans every inch of the ocean, and her power alone may not be enough to save her friends, family, and freedom.

My Review: I'm not sure what happened between the first and second book. I fell in love with this series after reading the first book. When I finally dived into this book.....well, it just wasn't the same. The start of the book was way TOO slow for me. It took A LOT to keep myself from throwing in the towel with this book. It didn't pick up until the very end. The very end it finally turned into something I could enjoy and get hooked on. I didn't quite love this new character. Aspasia ideally has an amazing view point. To save and free those in slavery, which is great. Though, when she captures men and sells them off....well thats a whole other thing.
Overall, I just couldn't love this story as much as the first book. This story line and character were just not it for me.
