As always, you must LISTEN to this series on audiobook, narrated by the amazing Katherine Kellgren who does all the voices and accents, British, American, French and everything else, as well as male and female, young and old, ridiculous and serious. The story never lags and the characters include real historical figures. I'm still enjoying this series as light reading, though I'm ready for a little more character development. Jacky takes herself on down the Ohio and Mississippi gathering friends and adventures along the way, one step ahead of her star-crossed lover, as usual. Meyer entertainingly explores the tall tale tradition and eventually gives a shout out to Mark Twain. This was a fun episode in the Bloody Jack series. It could have edited some parts out that dragged and been a tad shorter to keep the action moving. However, I enjoyed the cast of characters, as usual. Jacky is an interesting character who gets herself into a lot of trouble and has a crew of loyal friends who always help her get out of it. But, I also enjoyed the characters from American history she met along the way such as the pirate Laffitte brothers and Mike Fink. They definitely made the story more fun. ei arvosteluja | lisää arvostelu

HTML: The intrepid Jacky Faber, having once again eluded British authorities, heads west, hoping that no one will recognize her in the wilds of America. There she tricks the tall-tale hero Mike Fink out of his flatboat, equips it as a floating casino-showboat, and heads south to New Orleans, battling murderous bandits, British soldiers, and other scoundrels along the way. Will Jacky's carelessness and impulsive actions ultimately cause her beloved Jaimy to be left in her wake? Bold, daring, and downright fun, Jacky Faber proves once again that with resilience and can-do spirit, she can wiggle out of any scrape...well, almost. .Kirjastojen kuvailuja ei löytynyt. |

What keeps me coming back to this series is the amazing audiobook narration. Katherine Kellgren sings and does a million voices and just makes it all so enjoyable. Bless you, Ms. Kellgren.
So now I'll complain a little via spoilers:
