I will never stop loving these books.

Just like the other books written by this trio, the plot is fun and whimsical. It's a mixture of fairy tale retelling and historical fiction with a bit of romance. It's fast paced and never dull. There is always something happening. Looking for a book to get you out of a slump? This might be just what you're looking for. This is the kind of book that makes you just find joy in reading. It doesn't take itself too seriously, it just takes you on a ride.

The narration is absolutely fantastic and seamless, particularly amazing when you consider that this is the work of three authors combined. Their styles come together in a way that leaves absolutely no gaps. There is a lot of tongue-in-cheek action, with puns and references to modern items/people, but there are also little bits of actual history tossed in. It's pirates made really fun. And for a little extra entertainment, I highly recommend the audiobook.
