I love Tracht and Alex. They are so perfect for each other, even if Tracht had to do some twisting of Alex in order to make him be perfect. I'm pretty sure that they are both pretty happy with the result, even if Tracht still loves to make Alex cry and he's willing to go quite a way to get there.

I was really happy to see them again, and to see how their relationship has grown. I liked seeing how Alex is settling in more and how he's getting more responsibility on the ship. Of course, he still has his ruffian-ish mindset, but I'm pretty sure that will never go away.

I got so angry at certain characters in this book, because they really made everything worse, in so many ways. If it had been up to me, I would've gone totally off on them. But overall, loved, loved, love this book, and I can't wait for more of Alex and Tracht. ( )
