The Sallee Rovers

The Sallee Rovers (Pirates of the Narrow Seas, #1) The Sallee Rovers by M. Kei


My rating: 5 of 5 stars
I loaded the The Sallee Rovers on my iPad for my flight back from the West coast and, whether seat-belted in or not, I was glued to my seat by the riveting story. It was wonderfully entertaining and interesting.

The Sallee Rovers, after detailed beginning, is a fast-paced story with wonderfully real characters. They react naturally to the events around them and I was never thrown out of the story by any of them doing something that didn't fit what we knew about them up to that point. That's not to say, however, that they didn't grow and change. That was one of my favorite things about the book - seeing the changes in Peter as he grew to accept himself.

The fight and battles scenes were gripping and more than once I found myself leaning forward in my seat as I read as quickly as possible to find out what happened next.

The end of the book left me wishing for more tales of Peter Thorton and I was very happy to see that there are other books in the series.

I'm very happy that M.Kei was unhappy with what he was reading and decided to try his own hand at a novel!
