This was a very fun pirate story--great characters, fun villians, and an epic final battle--an easy summer read that I likely enjoyed a lot more than I should have!

This is actually more a 2.5 star book.
I enjoyed reading it but I must admit that I did not care for most of the main characters. And I also was not really sold on the whole love drama in here.
Other then that, it is a nice pirate story with Golarion trappings on it. Some scenes in here gave me ideas for some roleplay sessions, and I think that is a nice quality in a roleplay game tie in novel.

a fun fantasy adventure novel.
torius vin is a pirate captain on the ship stargazer. his crew is a motley mix of human and not human including a gnome, a half orc, and a naga. they're down on their luck when when the courtesan vreva offers torius a job stealing a priceless relic. it seems like their luck has turned until they are betrayed and must fight to turn their finances and recoup their losses.

Rollicking practical adventure with a touch of romance.

I bought this for rollicking pirate action. Instead I got clumsy, angsty romance with substance abuse themes. Romance I am more than OK with; angst is not my bag. And I generally prefer it better written, with more likeable characters. This was pretty hard to actually finish.

Well... that was an okay read. I mainly picked this up for the promise of pirates, and while it does deliver a bit of that, the majority of this book is a long revenge con with a romance tossed in. Side-plots of hating courtesans, drug addiction (at least 3), and haggling with merchants abound. The one real pirate battle we got early on was about all there was, alas.
Also, this story had quite the strong undercurrent of misogyny that made it difficult to read. I have a lot of opinions about that, but most of those I vented in my reading updates so I'll leave them out of my review. Needless to say, I'm not a fan.
I don't think I'll continue this series. The authors tone is just not for me.
