panOnce again I think this had no plot or substance, the main lead is a passive woman to whom things happen and who things happen around. There is a clear stereotype she fits in, despite the author trying to make her seem different/empowered. The bilingual character's dialogue was... rough to read as bilingual person, it was just awful. It just felt like another empty book, still no pirating and it seems the series isn't concluded. Sadly forgettable.
pickThis was a fantastic duology, and if you love pirates, you won‘t want to miss it! Anne is bold and brave, and it‘s easy to see how young Teach becomes the infamous Blackbeard. Their love story was not without conflict, but beautiful. The supporting cast is well fleshed out, too. And the bad guys? Well, I would go after them myself! They are the scum on the scum of the earth. I wish there were more books in this series. Hoist the sails!
We just got back home and I had a #SecretSanta package waiting for me from my #LitsyGoesPostalOG Elf @Lacythebookworm ❤️ She went above and beyond! From the entire Shatter Me series, the BlackSouls book, How Jane Austen Conquered the World, plus a book and some crayon/activities for Kaysen, and she also gave body butter and lip balm, to-do notepad w/ matching pen, Tea, and OOP Library coasters as well as a P&P tote bag! I love it all! THANK YOU ❤️
