Pirates! by Rees Celia My rating: 4 of 5 stars "She had brought hope to me, as a wind springs from nowhere to take a ship out of a flat calm, to fill her sails and send her singing through the water, speeding on her one true course." I was impressed with the lack of sugar-coating in this book regarding the inhuman brutality of the Atlantic slave trade and the viciousness of piratical life. Especially considering the target audience of younger readers, it was a pleasant surprise to find so many of the uglier aspects of the historical setting left uncensored. At the same time, I felt the author did a fantastic job of avoiding crudeness for the sake of overly dramatic morbidity. It always seemed like just enough to make the plot realistic without making things needlessly macabre, and I was appreciative of how fine a line that must have been to maintain throughout the novel. ❧ View all my Goodreads reviews.
