The plot is exciting and hints at many suspenseful and amazing adventures of Brandy. Looking forward to digging into this book to be with her journey as she chooses what path to take; will she reclaim her rightful place among the pirates or will she face a new life away from a life she belongs to? Only one sure way to find out!

With such a detailed and amazing review, I was tempted to be interested in reading this book but it seems scary and not my kind of book.

A pirate story!! I don’t see many of these nowadays, but I’m interested in following the story of Brandy; I think that having pirates for parents would be quite interesting. This is an excellent and thorough review! Thank you!

The story of Brandy's adventure in reclaiming the Red Witch sounds like a fresh plot. I would be interested to know more about the lifestyle of the pirates on a ship. Thanks for the review. Congrats on the BOTD!

From what little I could read of the story, I found it captivating. With the first chapter I could imagine every scene and detail described. From the appearance of Brandy with her reddish hair to every detail of the characters. The author was able to create in a few pages a connection with the reader so that by witnessing the tragedies of Brandy, we can identify with her and expect to see her grow. There were scenes where I cried and others where I laughed. All this simply from the first chapter. Without a doubt, it is a good book. 4 of 4 I give it.

Pirate novels most times don't interest me. However, this is a great book by the author having employed artistry in writing this. Thanks for the review.
