2nd review:
Why I read this: I love these books and they are amazing on audio!
Plot: In this book, we find Jacky trekking across the Americas and of course finding a boat to sail down the Mississippi River. Jacky may be inland, but she always finds a way to stay on water as much as possible. This book is full of new twists, a possibly reunion with Jaimy and some adventures that involve pirates, a whorehouse, and trying not to get killed.
Characters: I love Mike Fink. What a fantastic character. An over the top troll of a man whom Jacky steals a boat from. I absolutely love when the narrator did his voice. Such a loud, hilarious man and almost always in the liquor. I also loved meeting the other characters introduced in this book and hope we continue to run into many of them in the future. Jack is herself as usual, always cunning and of a positive nature even when in death's grip.
Relatability: Probably one of my favorite books in the series. It's hard to pick one, but this one is definitely up there.
Cover Commentary: I love the old covers, the new ones are awful and look nothing like the Jacky I picture.
1st review: Well.. this better not be the last book. I always want more with these books (even if they are 600 pages + of adventure, humor and even romance...).
It's good to finally see somewhat of a happy ending, but I'm still not satisfied if this is the end of the series.
If you haven't read these books yet... you should. :)

You are so right on Katherine Kellgren -- she's an amazing narrator! I would never have hired a petite British narrator to pull off a role like Mike Fink, but when she started whoopin' and hollerin'... I became a believer!
