Such a good book!!!! I stayed up all night to finish it. There was adventure and romance, and the characters were all very interesting. I believe this is my favorite book of 2023! I can't wait to read the other books in the trilogy!! Slow start, but after a few chapters, OH MY GOD!!

Pozitivno (pros) - pirati.
Negativno (cons) - tipičan avanturistički roman iz tog perioda, odličan početak ali kasnije radnja postaje previše uopštena.

Definitely a product of its time. It’s a classic swashbuckler, consistent tone, romantic subplot, with a surprisingly satisfactory ending.

Solid adventure. Treason, romance, the high seas--all well-written! Thoroughly enjoyed it.

Not all favourites are littered with annotations, not all are poetic, not all are about delving into the dark recesses of the heart. Some, simply and well told, have you scampering at the early hours, fighting against the dawning darkness. This, this was such a story. 

Apparently forgot to update this ages ago. It's a swashbuckling tale and good fun for light reading. Sabatini clearly tried to make it read like a 18th century novel, and I'd say he succeeded for the most part.

I loved the audiobook narrated by b.j. Harrison

genuinely loved it! God he so good! The writing was great the character of blood is amazing. From the first chapter till its end Peter blood is a great pirate... he is a good man who was a bit unfortunate until he made the odds in his favor. The last page has made me laugh so hard! I’m still shaking.. god he was good!
