Niya and Alos get to travel to distant lands, look for lost treasure, and pretty much live the pirate’s dream. I really enjoyed the setting here – I found it a lot more fun and exciting than the first book! Even though it was a bit long for my taste, I was never really bored while I was reading. They’re forced into some close proximity as they set out on an adventure at sea. They constantly go head to head and there’s a lot of great banter between them. To say they don’t get along would be an understatement. Niya is the second sister to get her romance – she’s a fire dancer and her romance is with pirate lord Alos Ezra. Plus, pirates!ĭance of a Burning Sea is an enemies to lovers romance and reads perfectly fine as a standalone in this series. I ended up liking this second book slightly more than the first! I’m still not completely sold on the series, but it’s still an enjoyable fantasy romance. I liked the dynamic between our three Mousai sisters and was looking forward to reading more about them.
