The Age of Pirates ended seven centuries ago. The Celestials have ruled over humans ever since. All Clipse Lionheart has ever known is confinement. That is, until Clipse and a group of freed humans embark on a voyage over the horizon thanks to her mother's plan, a plan that has the power to change everything. Clipse discovers the world outside of Zxu, a world of powers and secrets vying for dominance. She has no idea that a lethal balance has been set, and one mistake might destroy everything. The author has written this book around 466 pages which I read in couple of hours. Turn the pages to read this amazing tale. Characters are well developed and the situations are very well framed. Starting from the narration, cover, title everything is just perfect. The language used is very professional and classy. An interesting read, starting from the beginning to the end. This book is the perfect addition to your collection. The writing is sharp, lucid, and flows seamlessly. The author has everything in it which makes it an engaging read. Read and get the real experience. The plot will bind the readers until it is finished. Overall, I enjoyed it and would definitely love to read more books by this author.

This novel - Pirates by the amazing Carlee Hughes - has one of the best fantasy plots I’ve ever read. It is engaging and full of mystery. It redefined the term “celestial” for me in more ways than one. Each and every character has many interesting layers, and it is clear why their journeys across the seas had to be interwoven. This novel provides the reader with a new perspective on delicate themes such as racism through an original take on what I thought could be perceived as historical fiction. This novel is amazing! I strongly recommend you read it too!
