Synopsis (Found on Goodreads):
When Amaya rescues a mysterious stranger from drowning, she fears her
rash actions have earned her a longer sentence on the debtor ship where she’s
been held captive for years. Instead, the man she saved offers her unimaginable
riches and a new identity
Thoughts:
I wish I had dived into my ARC sooner and was able to go to the launch party. This
was so much more than a genderbent Count of Monte Cristo. Sometimes revenge
takes time, the issue is time teaches that revenge isn`t always the answer.
Starting with Amaya- Silverfish and her time aboard the Brackish really helped you
understand how she was being pushed to not only save herself but the other children
on the debtor ship. When given the opportunity to save not only herself but everyone
she says yes without thinking.
Cayo loves his sister more than his gambling addiction. This is very important to
remember because he is tested so many times. The subject of a gambling addiction
was really well written. That high of winning and just floating felt real. Cayo is not his
father but he will do whatever it takes to make sure his sister is taken care of.
Ash Fever is plaguing Moray and no one knows how to cure it only lessen the symptoms.
Cayo will resort to bad habits if it means his sister can live. Amaya will protect the
children before it can affect her.
Children should never have to pay for the parent's sins. Scavenge the Stars teaches
us that not all children are like their parents and sometimes revenge isn't always easy.
The pacing is a little slow but with twists that I didn't see coming made it a five star for
me. I did not want to put the book down and go to sleep. Knowing there is a book two
made the pacing worth it.
TTFN,
Ashley
