For me this book was just so-so, but I'm not quite sure I can put my finger on what it was that kept it from being a great book for me. I suppose I found the combination of the three story lines - romance (and I use that term loosely), pirates and supernatural - disparate enough to each distract from the other. While there was quite a bit to like about this book, it just felt too scattered for me to enjoy completely as one story. I would have liked to have seen the connection between Phaeton and Jason Exeter explored in more detail; the possibilities there intrigued me. I liked Phaeton's protector, Edvard the Sneaky too. And I was very disappointed that America Jones' abilities as a witch were completely ignored. I will also add that for anyone out there who is uncomfortable about romance that goes beyond innuendo, this book is most definitely not for you.
I'm not sure if I'm going to want to read the next book; I'll wait to see what other reviewers have to say before making up my mind.
