Ahoy there mateys! I really wanted to love this book but I read about half and just didn't care about the characters. I let it sit and then me library took back the e-book cause it was due. I put meself back on the long waiting list hoping that when I got it again I would be in a different mood. I got it and realized that I had no further interest in this book despite some of the lovely writing. So I returned it unfinished a second time. I give up. It's just not for me. Arrrr!
