Book Rating

Originally published as a series of five novellas, this - as such, and very much like the previous collaboration of these two authors (Invader - is a distinct multi-part book, made up of the following five parts:

Pirata: The Black Flag
Pirata: The Gates of Stone
Pirata: Hunters of the Sea
Pirata: Sea of Blood
Pirata: The Pirate Chief

As such, each of the five parts have their own distinct start, middle and end, with the series - as a whole -following the orphan Telemachus as he initially joins a merchant vessel before becoming a pirate and (perhaps too) swiftly rising through the ranks - I say perhaps too swiftly as that is my main criticism of the novel, with Telemachus - despite having lived his life on the streets of Piraeus - suddenly, and in a very short time, taking to the life of a pirate at sea.

An enjoyable enough diversion, but not as good - IMO - as Scarrow's Macro and Cato series of novels

WHY NO KISS

DONT LEAVE HER

The dead lie worse than the living

I only got shudder so i could binge watch this tv show, at first i was a little weirded out because i had no idea what the hell was going on. reminded me of a cheesy zombie show. Boy was i shocked when it picked up fast as all hell.
I LoVeD how much Waka's character grew, insert sponge bob meme. ( the ending ripped my heart and i swear if i could reach into my tv to sack waka i totally would have)
The fighting was incredible and i loved how much detail was put into the show. Im so excited for the next season.
one thing i have to rage about is why the fuck did they not hook up. you CAN clearly see the sexual tension between them but nooo.
AND THAT ENDING, HOW DARE HE.
okay rant over
