Matey Christopher wrote me a good question about the rating for book three and I thought more of ye crew members might be curious. So for the record:

Hmmm I did not realize that I didn't rate the second book. I will have to fix that. It has been a long while since I read the series and the initial thoughts on it are hazy. I did like the second book. But when I went to read the third one, I just kept putting it down and not wanting to pick it back up. I must have restarted it half a dozen times. As a side note, I currently be going through the list of series that I haven't finished and taking out the ones I won't finish because I am working on the Series Shakedown Part 6 post on me blog. I read the reviews and spoilers for the third book and realized I don't want to read the third book. So it gets one star because I lost interest and never finished it. And I don't think I ever will try it again hence why I finally rated it and put it on me abandoned ship shelf. Hope that all makes sense. Arrrr!
