Well I have to say: I was expecting so much more out of it. I mean, pirates? Out there in the seven seas? God, I was looking forward to it like crazy. But then we have a girl that is very "I still don't know if I like her", a guy that is kinda nice and a best friend that have a serious problem.Indigo is such a strong beautiful name! I thought it would suit the character! And so is Hendrix! Well, I was wrong, because neither can decide between being very tough or very weak (how many times does she beg for her life? How many times does she promises to her best friend she will save them both and try to save only herself? Really I do understand the fact that she cannot be perfect, but have you seen Katniss Everdeen's selfishness? It's driven by extinct for survival not foolishness!). The impression that I had was that she doesn't think enough, and no, I am not calling her stupid. It is just that her past doesn't drive her actions, and I have to admit I would understand better if she was desperate to run away because she was sick of living in capture, like she used to live with her trashy boyfriend. Well, I also would get her emotions and her actions if she expressed herself better. Why DOES she do that? Why DOESN'T she do that other thing?I couldn't understand her personality because she kind of didn't understand herself!The same happens with the other characters. I couldn't exactly like or love any of them. They all seemed very soft for pirates/MC bikers. And no, I am not against bad boys that are soft inside, I just would like to see better how Hendrix gets more human during the story. I had the impression that they (Drake as well) didn't knew they were good deep down inside until somebody showed them that. Being Indigo this person.I also expected it to be longer, with better interaction between the other pirates and Indi's life in the ship. Even though there are good steemy moments between Hendrix and Indi, I didn't see anything else besides body chemistry, caring and understanding moments are rare. They loved each other but nothing like "there is only you in my heart forever" the soul mate thing I like.Call me stupid, but I love this.Then It comes her best friend, Eric. There were sometimes that I asked myself ( I bet she did as well) why were they friends, again? Okay, I admit that sometimes a friendship can be shaky. Specially in an almost death situation, but, MAN, SINCE THE BEGINNING HE WAS A PAIN IN...(ya know where). Then he just gets worse. I had the feeling that he was just a judging coward! He makes it look like her thing with Kane (he beating up the hell out of her) was just she making a big deal of things! When he was beaten up by the pirates he just cries like a baby!!In the other hand I kinda do like Drake and Jess. And for instance Dimitri, oh such a beautiful name (I have an obsession over a few Russian names :D)But anyway, it wasn't awful, it just wasn't perfect. If you are looking for an easy-relaxing read, then read it!Arg!
