Overall rating and opinion of "Brandy, Ballad of a Pirate Princess" by Dan E. Hendrickson

[Soraya Bayah]

I wholly enjoyed Brandy. It is a perfect example of a novel that has diverse but compatible components and characters. I rated it a perfect rating, as I did not find a thing to dislike about it. The writing style and progression of both characters and the plot were marvelous. The twists were certainly breathtaking and I enjoyed the relationships immensely. I am sure that fans of historical fiction will enjoy it.

I was really surprised that I enjoyed this book as much as I did. I was bummed when I saw that the BOTM was a pirate story but now I'm a fan of Dan Hendrickson! I really enjoy very descriptive writing and I think this book fit that for sure. I gave this book a 3 out 4, and it was hard to give it 3 but I really did not enjoy the romance and love story parts between some of the characters. Yes, the love and romance had a huge part of the story and was actually written in very well....I' just not a romance story type of person.

I used to think that I'm not usually big on historical fiction novels until I tried reading this book. That was when I realized that a good book is indeed a good book. I loved every bit of this book and I've opened my mind to read different genres of books.

Brandy, Ballad of a pirate princess is an exciting historical fiction about a female pirate that is trying to fulfill her destiny. I loved the character of the protagonist. She is bold, intelligent, beautiful, and ambitious. I did not dislike any aspects of this novel. The writing style of the author is very descriptive. Her world building is impressive. This novel is a combination of three genres namely, historical - fiction, bildungroman, and romance. Anybody that likes fiction should read this book. It is a very entertaining work of art.

This is a fantastic pirate story, complete with hideous, stinky pirates, beautiful ladies, and noble heroes. This story is chock-full of collusion, just like a good pirate story should be. This novel has a good mix of likable characters, action, and even romance. I had a great time with Brandy and her friends. The only regret is that the story ended far too soon!

[Lydia Efobi 1]

I would rate this book a 4 out out 4 stars mainly because I'm a huge fan of novels with strong female leads. The author is also very skilled: his writing was clear and electrifying.

[Blucabana]

This novel is a masterpiece. The storyline captivated my mind from the beginning till the end. I really liked the way the story ended, it was satisfying. There was nothing about this book that I did not like. The author's writing style is descriptive and narrative. The diction that is used is simple and clear. This novel is historical fiction that contains elements of a romance. Everybody needs to read this book. It is so entertaining.

[Emerizx]

The book was superb, interesting and packed full of actions, I love how Brandy and her uncle convinced their captors that they are just mere slaves destined for the markets of the US. I recommend the book to those who love pirate book.

Great book. Beautiful and interesting storyline. The author sure knows how to keep his readers glued, had a great read with book. The character development was too intriguing.

[Ola_Elise]

This is the story of an orphan who struggled for her independence and that of her community. The plot was both interesting and motivating to me. However, I despised some of the novel's characters because they were underdeveloped. The writing is descriptive, accurate, concise, and entertaining. I rate this book 3 out of 4 stars.

[Jenny Matthews]

This was a great book filled with action. I like Zhang and the sacrifices Kat made for her daughter, really made an impact to me.
