Ocean’s Light (Blood of the Pirate BOOK 1) by Mina Chara – Review by Dani Dando

The Ocean’s Light by Mina Chara
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

A nice breath of bracing sea air, that was an absolute pleasure to read. I honestly didn’t know what I expected going into this, but honestly, this is the most swashbuckling and interesting adventure story that I have read in a long time, and I read a lot. Thought that Chara brought back the magic of pirate adventures that has not really been done effectively since the Pirates of the Caribbean trilogy (I ignore the other movies.)
The crew of the ship appropriately named Easy Money, are traveling the seas in search of the Oceans Light, which happens to be a mystical artifact that has all but passed into legend. This artifact is powerful though and Evie and the crew will stop at nothing to keep it from falling into the wrong hands, especially the hands of Captain Hammer who would use the awesome power the Oceans Light possesses for ill.
I honestly enjoyed every second of this, enjoying the characters and the all-around piratey-ness. Think that children and adults alike can find something to adore in this book, its great fun, and sort of makes you want to hoist the sails and set off on your own adventure, fraught with mythical creatures and long-forgotten artifacts, and of course a dash of piracy along the way. Cannot wait to read the next books in the series.
