The Devourer | Alison Ames

2 posts | 2 read

When Adra Dantes’ half-brother Cameron attacks their father and robs him of a priceless treasure map, he leaves him a shell of the pirate captain he once was. Now Adra’s only aim in life is to kill Cameron, retrieve her father's map, and claim the treasure herself.
But her plans are thwarted. A sudden surplus of magic in the world is causing ancient sea monsters to awaken. Worse yet, Adra discovers that the ship she's been chasing for almost a year now is captained by a girl who’s been impersonating Cameron, while Cameron himself is missing.
The two pirate captains will have to work together if they are to find Cameron, but before they can do so, they must vanquish the beast―known as The Devourer―that is sinking ships and causing so much fear. Adra will have to descend leagues beneath the sea to the creature’s lair to strike a deal with her, but she’ll discover she isn’t the only one looking for her brother―and what he stole.

The Devourer | Alison Ames

so-so

I wanted to like this one bc #pirates, but...

I know that real pirates sucked and I think Ames wanted to convey some of that with our MC, who felt like she had to be ruthless in order to get respect, which, I guess can be hard to get when you're single-mindedly chasing after your adopted "brother" (and keep failing to capture him). Still, I think the MC could have had more personality. Nothing she ever did truly made me want to follow her story.

The Devourer | Alison Ames

A book for those looking to be seen & understood while learning to see & understand themselves highlighting all the mixed up feelings that teens go through as they separate from family & begin to define themselves. It claims that space and builds on it, so every reader feels like they are part of the crew of in a narrative that uses the darker side of YA Horror and Fantasy in a banter filled and surprisingly raw and insightful book.
