Airships, pirates, and secret identities... When Clara dreamed of running away to seek her own adventures, she never imagined that a chance encounter with the legendary Captain Duke might set her life on an entirely different course. Armed with her wit and charm, Clara can usually talk her way out of any troubles. But first, she has to get back to solid ground... Clara stole a quiet breath of relief when the loud man's boots retreated toward the stairwell. She could hear the other two moving about the cargo hold, and hoped that her own thudding heartbeat would not betray her position. She quickly thought through her options: Could she bribe them? Should she fight? Could she run? She made herself as small as possible and waited, every instinct on high alert. The lighter pair of footsteps was getting closer. A shuffle. A step. He must be less than four feet from her, only the crate she huddled against blocking her from his view. When his voice called out, the blood froze in Clara's veins.

Both Clara and the Captain Duke have mysterious backstories alluded to throughout but not actually addressed or explained. I didn't find the vague hints intriguing enough to motivate me to find out more (they felt more like a convenient get-out clause that will explain something in a future story than actually contributing to the current book). Clara's rapid acceptance by the crew and gaining of skills she'd never tried before felt too good to be true. I could understand not wanting to bog things down, but I'd have quite liked to see her overcoming more challenges before settling in.
Overall, an entertaining and pleasant read if you're looking for something light.
