I had a disadvantage when I started this book in that I've read non-fiction historical books about Blackbeard and other well-known historical pirates, but I had to put that aside to enjoy this totally fictional story. Blackbeard is a popular character in pirate fiction, even appearing in one of Disney's Pirates of the Caribbean movies and I accept that.
Having shifted my expectations, a few other names associated with the history of pirates also appear in this story, but the important thing is that the story itself started out well. However, when Anne Bonney was introduced, I started rolling my eyes. Believability was out the window.
The story started to drag a little after that and the plot about the keys didn't appeal to me. Too many elements just weren't realistic enough to hold my attention and things like people calling Edward "Ed" pulled me out of the era.

Great read!
I loved this series wish I had not bought the set when I already had bought other books separately. I thought I was getting another sequel book. I had already planned on getting the Bartholomew's set because Blackbeard's set was amazing! So now I have double Blackbeard books. Its OK I loved them.

Looking for a bargain this set is a definite must. Even if you have individual books having all in one place makes use of e-reader more efficient.

I hope there will be a second collection, because I need more! I love pirate stories, especially if they're featuring real pirates and this book... This book was everything I wanted and more.
I loved Edward from the very beginning and reading about his life and journey as a pirate was so entertaining. The book was written so real and lively, I could hardly put it down.
