[Éowyn (Eliza) · Rating 3 out of 5]

Wolves of the sea being a pulp fiction pirate story of a Victorian-style romance and swashbuckling mutiny, if I remember correctly. An alright read. I enjoyed it a lot before I learned it was not a true story… which just goes to show the value of realistic writing.
