I'm only about 3/4 of the way through this book but I'm having such a hard time putting it down that I figured a review isn't out of line at this point!
I'm not usually one for reading about pirates, but the thought of a female pirate and therefore, a strong female character for the book sounded interesting. And it is most definitely interesting! It's a good thing that I found this book AFTER my school semester was over because I'm having a hard time putting it down!
This book actually goes back and forth between Grace O'Malley and Queen Elizabeth I. It's a fictional tale but based on real life events that caused these two powerful females' paths to cross and intertwine. It's fascinating to read these ladies' stories. If you at all like pirates or 16th century British history, take a look at this one!
