It felt like I was reading a child’s book. The main character was too perfect in a way which made the story feel “unrealistic” and didn’t really ever make me feel any sort of rush. Despite it all, it was an enjoyable, lighthearted read and I recommend  it to anyone who’s looking for a quick read.

Morals of alley cats, these ones. 
If you don't mind that (what else can you expect from pirates, honestly), then read at your own risk. 

Here be casual, cold-blooded killing; thievery; seduction; torture; promiscuity; and general immorality. To be fair, the characters' consciences do prick them - if they are romantically or familially involved with someone. And it's rare.
