Comme les tomes précédents j'ai adoré, ça se lit facilement et rapidement. D'habitude j'ai un peu de mal à lire des livres assez jeunesse et à beaucoup apprécier mais la c'est parfait. Il ne me reste plus que 2 tomes, j'ai très hâte de voir comment ça va se finir

2.5 stars. Meh. This was easily the worst of the series so far. Which isn't to say that it was bad, just that it didn't live up to my expectations based on earlier books in the series. I was pretty excited about a pirate story, but it just ended up being really underwhelming. It took way too long for the piratey stuff to actually happen, and then it turned into this weird "Liam O'Connor, saviour of runaway slaves" storyline that then morphs into "Liam O'Connor, pirate king for 20 years" thing and meanwhile Maddy's sitting in London moping because she thinks Liam doesn't want to come back and I just...?!?!?!?!?!?!?

So yeah. Rashim annoys me, I want Spongebubba to die in a fire, and the usual trio going their separate ways was infuriating. Hopefully book 8 picks up again, because this was utterly forgettable.

I couldn't decide between 3 or 4 stars.

While there was definitely character development for Liam, Rashim and Sal, I wasn't interested in the whole pirate theme, which was a pretty massive theme in the book. I just didn't care and it dragged on a lot.

Ακόμα ένα εξαιρετικό βιβλίο στη σειρά. Περισσότερο αυτόνομο από τα υπόλοιπα αλλά εξίσου ενδιαφέρον. Δεν αφήνει ανοιχτά μέτωπα για τα δυο τελευταία βιβλία.
