Meh.

I really like pirate books, and the idea of a female pirate protagonist was appealing. And I did enjoy what I read for perhaps the first third of the book -- until the romance plot showed up. After that, I stuck with it for the bits of heroic female pirate action, but it all felt flat. Her powers that manifest seem to come out of nowhere, and then explained through some "oh by the way" exposition that seemed to not fit with the rest of the story.

I finished it, but I likely will not read further into the series.
