First of all, I love pirates and pirate stories. It is just a life that I feel like is exhilarating and free of the confines of polite society. So this book really hit all the good spots for me, right off the bat. Csilla is a pirate, about to be executed. This story jumps right into the action, and does not stop! It is a book that is right up my alley, and I can't wait to engage with it!
