Winterwood

I had higher expectations for this book - give its a lady pirate and it begins with her facing her (not dying fast enough) mother and the expectations that lady placed on her (and never forgave her for not living up to).

In the end though it just wasn't fascinating enough to me to read in one go (it took me a couple months).

3 1/2 stars. Lot of story, for a first book in a series; probably could have been split into two books. Well written.
