1.0
Not for me. Pirates are nothing if not adventure prone (Swords! Rum! Cannons!), and I can see how someone could really enjoy this book. I didn't like it because I didn't connect with any of the characters, except little girl Emer and maybe her mother. The writing was vivid and there was plenty of action, but I had to force myself onward because I just found the story a downer, and without a character I felt invested in to pull me through the darker bits it got very tedious indeed. Nice cover art though.
