Second part of the Assassin's Curse sweeps through all of the three impossible tasks which can break Naji's curse.
As series is said to be duology, the ending surprices slightly by leaving s bittersweet taste to readers mouth since Clarke has used more that one clishé in this story and you are prepared to get some in the end too - and that's when you get a bucket of seawater - warm but salty - to your face.
But at least is leaves open possibilities for continuum.
Final pages seems to be written in a bit of a rush, but if the clishés and predictability didn't stop you reading the first part, you'll find Pirate's Wish even more addictive.
