Review: The Pirate Prince
Rating: 2 out of 5
Date: 09 21, 2012
I had a hard time getting into this book. I skimmed though the last part of the book starting after Mei got knocked out and they started back to her planet. I just could not finish it. Anyway what should have taken me a day to read took me about 4 days to read. It's not that it was a bad story it is just not what I expected and wanted for Jarek. This was not a good last book for the series for me. To me she compromised on the character of Mei so she could write a different series (Zhang Dynasty).The main reason I did not like this this book was I agree with the other reviewer that gave it 2 stars. I did not like Mei that well, and she is not what I expected for Jarek. I found her to be annoying. I also agree I expected someone more like Sam. A kick butt pirate type of woman. Sam should have gone to Jarek, and Falke should have had someone probably more military background. Not sure about what exact type Falke should have gotten, maybe he did need someone to make him laugh more, but I did not feel Sam was right for him. Even if the author made Mei an Asian pirate and changed her personality a little it would have been better than a Zhang princess, whose personality did not fit a princess either.I will not be reading the next part of the series the Zhang Dynasty. I see there is also a series Galaxy Playmates with one book featuring Tori's sister Sapphire. Not sure whether I will read that series or not. I will read the Dragon series first which I should have done to begin with. However I did not realize it was the first part of the series until after I had read the first book of this series. I did not want to stop reading the Var series to go read the Dragon series and then come back to the second book of Var series.
