Artemesia is the daughter of a pirate queen, and she's sick of practicing deportment at the Angels Academy for Young Maidens. Escaping from the school, she hunts up her mother's crew and breezily commands them out to sea in a leaky boat. Unfortunately, Art's memories of her early life may not be accurate-her seasick crew are actors, and Art's infamous mother was the darling of the stage in a pirate drama. But fiery, pistol-proof Art soon shapes her men into the cleverest pirate crew afloat. And when they meet the dread ship Enemy and her beautiful, treacherous captain, Goldie Girl, Art is certain that her memories are real. The Seven Seas aren't large enough for two pirate queens: Art will have the battle of her life to win her mother's title--and the race for the most fabulous treasure in pirate lore. This gaudy, outrageous tale sparkles with swordplay, skullduggery, and salty language--not to mention over-the-top comedy!

Bloody Jack meets Pirates of the Caribbean! This was not my favorite pirate story though it was entertaining and enjoyable. I doubt I'll continue the series as I much preferred Bloody Jack. Well written and with likeable characters, I recommend this for all pirate fans.

What is cooler than a non-violent,terribly cunning, utterly devious, sixteen-year-old Pirate Queen? And who in their right mind wouldn't want to read about her? This book rocks. If I were flying a flag, it would totally be a pink skull-and-crossbones (pink for a girl).

This is the first of Tanith Lee's books I have read and it proved to be most enjoyable. She has a poetic style that may not be easily read by some young readers, but those who can adapt to her style will enjoy a novel with a memorable plot and characters.

This review and others posted over at my blog. Tanith has created a semi-Victorian (Regency? I dont know time periods, sorry!) world in the year of Seventeen-Twelvety (how awesome is that?!) which somewhat resembles the actual year of 1802. This world primarily differs from our own in how the countries are laid out and theres a handy map in the front that I actually referenced for once. But because this is Tanith and I am a flappy-handed fangirl for everything shes written (ugh except Greyglass

I was really excited when this book came out. I fully expected to totally love it - Lee is one of my favorite authors, so.. Lee and pirates? How could it go wrong?I'm not quite sure, but somehow it does.Set in a 'slightly parallel world' in 1802 (which basically means that place names are spelled wrong: the river Thamis flows through Lundun, for example), 'Piratica' gives us a young woman named Artemisia, who, while studying deportment at her girls' school, falls and hits her head. After this

A philosophical and spiritual enlightenment, a joy to read simple but deep meaning poetry.Beautiful illustrations that draw you in at another level.

I bought this book to put into my Little Free Library, but wondered where it might fit on the range of age-appropriatenessespecially because I intended to loan it first to a neighbor teen. The best way to determine this, of course, was to read it myself. Surprise! It's a great book, and despite the story line, has little gore, with zero vulgarity and profanity. (Unless you're worried about exclamations like "Great shells!" or "Upon my father's coat!") The cross-dressing teenage girl Artemisia
