An excellent tale to experience sailing the seas as a pirate always searching for the next ship to come along loaded with 'sweet trade'.
The author's strongest skill is in describing settings, sailing routines, and historical events, while avoiding tedious detail.
Character development could be stronger, although it's adequate. The author notes there is limited historical information about Mary Read and Anne Bonny.
