This book really scared me years ago when my older sister read it aloud to me and my brother. Since then, I steered clear of it. But just a few days ago, I decided to try it again and borrowed it from the library.
It's really good so far! I was only twelve or thirteen when my sister read it to me, so I can see why I was scared. But oh my goodness. It's by a Christian author of three of my favorite books ever, there's no language, and there's nothing inappropriate. It is pretty violent and maybe a bit disturbing here and there, but hey, it's centered around pirates. What else would you expect?
I love it so far and can't wait to read the sequel - Isle of Fire.
And this one - The Captive Maiden - I also ordered from Walmart. It's based on the tale of Cinderella, but it's not a fantasy. It was written by a Christian author, and I've only seen good reviews from people who read it. They said it was exciting, frustrating (because of poor Cinderella's sad life), had good, clean romance, and they couldn't wait to see how it ended. I hope it's as good as they say!
And that's my summer reading for now. I already had my once-every-summer reading of A Pearl Among Princes. Such a good book.
Also the Airborn books which I have read two or three times now...three other books perfect for pre-summer reading!
What books are you reading/going to read?
