A review by cereuslyrico
On Stranger Tides by Tim Powers

4.0

So, obviously Disney stole this and only admitted it for the third movie. I hope Powers got a massive settlement out of it.
It was good, well-written, but not the most. Elizabeth was a non-character that made it difficult for me to care about, especially since her fate pretty much drives the plot. And I found Jack (the original William) to be fairly unlikeable.
That being said there is tons of swashbuckling goodness that made this well worth the read.
