An Enjoyable Read!

This was a great journey through the world of Caribbean pirates in the late 17th century. The level of detail is rich and sets wonderful imagery. I enjoyed the well-crafted characters, though I questioned some of the plot turns. An enjoyable read!
Pirates!

I was offered a copy in exchange for an honest review, and I jumped at the opportunity. Because... pirates!
This story was surprisingly engaging and detailed. You can easily notice a lot of research was done about the time and vessels. Don't worry, even if you - like me - are not familiar with nautical terms you will do just fine. In my case, I can even say I learned a lot!
I am glad I could get all the six books in a single volume, as the story is engaging and I kept wishing for more. At about three to four hours per book, it was the perfect length for a day of commute and housework.
I really started to care for Atia, and I think Elaine's narration helped with that. She has a very pleasant and fluid narration style, and was the perfect fit for the story in my opinion. Elaine made Atia sound so badass at times, and that alone made me a fan.
You better believe I'll keep an eye for more from the authors and narrator!
