Review: The fighting was fun but the world needs work.

In concept, I like Scarlet and Gold. Pirates, gold, swashbuckling, even a swashbuckling wife. The sword fighting is fine and the characters are generally well drawn. My problem was with the location. The world seems to be a fantasy world similar to our own, but for example, there is a cross that glows when danger is near. The world gets absolutely no backstory.Names are similar to real places (Cambridge, Marbella, Romany) which makes things more confusing. Plus everywhere seems to be a couple of days sails from everywhere else. There is no sense of scale, or countries.The fighting was fun but the world needs work.
