Criticize Out Of Books The Sallee Rovers (Pirates of the Narrow Seas #1)

I quite enjoyed this. Its more nautical than romantic, and very full of detail both emotional and historical. I appreciate that it does not gloss over the horrors of slavery, nor does it whitewash the international cast. It was a splendidly enjoyable read.

Hmm, an interesting story but I'm not sure whether I can say I really enjoyed it. It is fairly well written, though I found the pacing a bit uneven at times. It certainly seems well-researched with solid descriptions of the various kinds of ships, as well as the cruelty of the English navy. It is the human interactions that I found less than satisfactory really, and that probably is due to personal taste. Peter was not a character I am drawn to and his vacillating responses annoyed me at times.

I am still strugling to finish the book, on and off. I am overvelmed by terminology and switching of POV. The plot is good, a lot of action but not a lot of actual romance. Will see...

Sorry to say this one tanked. It started out very good with a compelling story and strong characters, although the way the character interactions were written was way inferior to the descriptions and the action scenes. Those were excellent, so it was grating to see how clunky things got as soon as people started talking. So when the book went from mostly action to more internal stuff it really lost something. As interesting as the characters were, they were written without any emotional depth.

Lt. Peter Thorton, serving in His Majesty's Navy aboard the frigate Ajax, must not only serve under an overbearing captain who finds fault in all actions, but must also hide his homosexuality and crush on his best mate fellow Lt. Roger Perry. But, one stormy day at sea in the midst of helping a sinking Spanish galley Thorton finds himself in the precarious position of upholding orders or his integrity as a human being. Thus he finds himself under the command of Captain Tangle, former Captain of

Imagine a novel about life on a tall ship during the age of the corsairs, privateers and pirates written by someone who has sailed as part of the crew of such a ship. That is exactly what you have with the Pirates of the Narrow Seas series. I don't see how you could be more thoroughly immersed in the time and the reality of such a life. The author, M. Kei, knows not only the terminology but has faced many of the challenges and dangers his characters do. The result is exciting, captivating, rich

Some notes while I read --The prose style is somewhat ornate and old-fashioned -- as befits the historical period -- but also a bit humorous and approachable. The naval terminology does get a bit dense at times -- as when the narrator says of a ship: "She was small and old-fashioned with a lateen mizzen brailed up to her shebeck yard, but she had triangular headsails. Her sails were all taken in, but she had the yards for courses, topsails, and topgallants. Her lines were low and fine."
