Book Reviews of Sea Star
Book Review: Swashbuckling Fun
Summary: 4 Stars
Though not the most accurate nor eloquent novel, Sea Star is certainly an enjoyable swashbuckling read. Unfortunately, it is a romance novel before historical fiction, so the dialogue and descriptions are sometimes mediocre, but Ms. Jekel's depiction of Anne Bonny is, in my opinion, suburb, portraying the imitable Anne Bonny as the strong, overbearing, reckless, but admirable heroine we know her -- not like Anne Osborne's horribly weak and infactual characterization in 'Wind from the Main' -- and a relief from the heady tomes written recently by Jo Stanley and Ulrike Klausmann, with their /currently/ infactual claims and lack of evidence. Nonetheless, don't read Sea Star if you're looking for scholarly work on Ms. Bonny. It is purely a novel to read before bed, but a deliciously decadent one at that.
