I don’t plan on continuing with the series. Additionally, the cliffhanger ending was absolutely horrible.you have been warned. I am not huge on battles at sea and don’t really like reading about them which is pretty much all this book is. I loved the fast-pace, but didn’t really enjoy the setting or theme. I hate it when authors try to “bully” readers in continuing to read a series rather than letting the quality of the story and characters speak for themselves.Overall this was an easy fast-paced read about pirates and strong women characters and sisterhood.

My last complaint is that the ending was an awful cliffhanger. One of those books where you race to the end and then think “huh, not much actually really happened in here”. This was a book where I turned through pages fast and read it fast but in the end I wasn’t really all that eager to read more….if that makes any sense. The story is fairly engaging, but there wasn’t a lot to it. The theme that is really driven in throughout the book is sisterhood and how important it is for a self made, self-sufficient group of women to support and care for each other.The book is very fast-paced and easy to read. I ended up liking this book more than I expected, despite the piratic theme.This book is basically one vicious sea battle after the next followed by periods of running from place to place. I am not a huge fan of pirate -themed books and reading about sea battles so if you don’t enjoy those types of books you probably won’t enjoy this. The story itself was fairly engaging and definitely fast-paced. The cover is beautiful and the synopsis really drew me in. I got this to review through the Amazon Vine program. This is the first book in the Seafire series by Parker (this is a planned trilogy).
