Review: Dark and violent pirate story
Rating: 3 out of 5
Date: 05 31, 2012
Picked up this novel when it was a freebie at the end of 2011. The description sounded interesting, and the majority of the reviews weren't up yet telling what kind of story it really is.As a historical novel, it's interesting. As some light reading? Not so much. My personal preference is to avoid bloody and violent movies and turn my head when something graphic comes on screen. However, that's really all this book is. The characters all go from morally bad to worse and the death toll at the end is reminiscent of a Shakespearean tragedy. If that's the kind of book you're looking for, go for it.Overall: took off a star for bad editing, too many misspelled words and errors. Would I recommend to someone? Only if they want to read graphic violence and a dark story. This is NOT a romance novel. Will I read any more books in the series? Nope, not my cup of tea.
