“Sometimes
there is a love that transcends times and space…This is our story.” (5)
Prologue was
beautifully written and captivating. Then the story dives in with a man’s love
for the seas. A captain, a pirate, a soldier, whatever one may call him, he
traversed the waters, navigating adventures, pillaging and plundering. Suddenly,
the reader is thrust into a Pirates of
the Caribbean world with its historical significance and enriching
dialogue. However, the start-up didn’t quite compel me as much as the Johnny
Depp movie. It was pretty slow in the beginning. In fact, it kind of continued
on the same lag for the bulk of the story. Sailors, Ladies, Kings, and Trojans
all abounded in this convoluted tale.
I thought
this would be a story of love, judging by the title, summary, and prologue. Oddly,
I found the prologue to be the most alluring aspect of it.
This is
mainly an adventure story with a splash of historical romance, which is fine
and dandy but not really my niche.
My rating: 2 stars
