Pirates are cool. Pirates with magic are cooler. Pirates, magic and a capybara? An a chinchilla? And a marmot? Well, that' more than cool. I didn't always get what's going on, but I didn't really care. Why should I if I can spend time with a capybara pirate captain? And the sweetest chinchilla boy?
Thanks at @PuddleJumper for letting me steal this book 😉

PuddleJumper Glad you enjoyed it! I too found it a bit confusing 😅 3d

#RiseUpReads September

I loved The Wicked Bargain so much that it will be one of my favorite books of the year. I even read the sequel set in the same universe that happens after the first book but focuses on Dami.

What did y'all think?

peanutnine I loved it!!! Definitely a new favorite. The historical setting was so detailed and the world building around demons and magic so interesting! I loved the found family vibes. And I really liked Dami's character so I'm excited to read their book soon 6d
Jari-chan Totally agree! 💖💖 6d
ElizaMarie I couldn't get into this one when I first tried. But hearing y'all's reviews makes me want to see if I could do another attempt. Did y'all do audio or physical? Did that make a difference? 6d
IriDas We were moving last month so I only just started it today. Audiobook. My youngest and I had to go to his doctor who is about 1.5 hrs away so we read it there and back. So far, it‘s very enjoyable. We both like it. Can‘t wait to see where the story takes us. 5d
peanutnine @ElizaMarie I did audio and thought it really brought the story to life! 5d
TheBookHippie Oh I liked this one!! I loved the found family! I would have never read this so thank you!!! 5d

I listened to the audio of this book but had to show off my pretty special edition! 😍 I LOVED the story!! Give me pirates and demons and untapped magical potential, yes please! The found family aspect was especially lovely, as Mar struggles to trust in their relationships with others
I'm so glad #riseupreads gave me an excuse to finally read this one! @Catsandbooks

I went to the farmer's market and picked up some bacon quesitos and spicy gummies today. They are the perfect treat to have while reading 📚 😍

AmyG Oh yum to the spicy gummies. 3w
InkedBookworm13 @AmyG yes! They were Tajin covered gushers. My kiddo got the taking covered needs clusters. Both were really good. 👌 3w
InkedBookworm13 Wow. I need a spellchecker before posting comments. I meant to say she got the Tajin covered nerd clusters 3w

Finished this (as well as One Dark Window) in the last 24 hrs. Both are excellent! I listened to this one, and the narrator was great. Out of the two, I liked One Dark Window more. Both are great!

Shannon Chakraborty has announced the next adventure for Amina al-Sirafi! The first book was a blast, and book 2 sounds great, with the author saying she is “attempting to write a book about a medieval mother‘s attempt at work-life balance.“ 😋 Due May 2026

ElizaMarie I tried this one a couple time (chapter 1) on audio and I couldn‘t get into it. The reviews make me think it‘s gonna be a great story but not for me. I‘m sitting out this month 1mo

History, ships, pirates, queer characters - what's not to love? Exactly! Sure, at the end it got a bit too much YA for me, but I think in that age readers just need that. Everything else was just an awesome ride. I loved how Mar grows and learns to accept themselves, Novoa wrote their journey really good and I think a lot of young readers will relate. And maybe some of us older ones, too?
