Seafire

A pirate story with a difference, an all female crew brought together by loss and a sense of pride to fight for what is right.

In a world where a man called Aric wants to rule everyone, who takes children from families to use them for his own cause & sails the seas with his Bullet Crews, dominating the waves. Calendonia is the captain of the Mors Navis an all girl crew determined to take down Aric once and for all, one ship at a time.
These girls have balls and have made there own kind of family and they leave no one behind, sisterhood is all.

The world building in this story is great, so vivid and real, the emotions are also very real! We go through all the emotions in this book. There is romance but it is not the main theme of the story, to be honest i would like to see these relationships grow more in the next book. The secondary characters all have strong personalities that you come to admire what each girl brings to the story.

I can’t wait to see where this story takes us especially after that cliffhanger of an ending!!

An epic feminist adventure full of heart & heart-stopping thrills! I am KICKING myself for not picking this up earlier. It was a thrilling read full of daring twists and characters you want to cling to after the final page. Picking up the sequel IMMEDIATELY.

Seafire presents such clever world building. Ostensibly a light pirate fantasy, there is also an element of Sci Fi in the technology used (and a possible hint of dystopia?). The level of detail is fantastic - it feels like the author really understands her world which makes it easier to fall into it.

Non-stop action from start to finish, this book is a wild adventure stretching across the seas! There are enough twists for a gripping and engaging read.

I received a copy from the publisher in exchange for an honest review.

What to say about Seafire? I loved this book so freaking much.

Pirates are one of the things I absolutely love and Seafire was finally a book that had pirates in and did them really well! Our main character is beyond a bloody badass and I love her with my entire heart. I was sort of nervous going in because of the huge cast of characters but it did not feel overwhelming at all and I came to like so many of them!

The plot was so intricate and I was a little confused at times but when I got into it, I started to love it more and more and I just cannot wait to see where the second book takes the story because the last quarter was so intense and had me on the edge of my seat. The world building was also incredible I could see everything in my mind as it was happening and I was immediately wrapped up in this incredible world.

Okay, Seafire had been on my radar since it first came out and I never got around to it. So when it came up I knew I had to read it and I was lucky enough to be accepted for it!

This book was a rollercoaster of emotions. I was 20% into the book and I was already crying. This book hits hard but in a good way. Seafire was so beautifully written that I felt like I was with those girls fighting for their lives.

Caledonia is a brilliant protagonist. She’s strong but she doubts her decisions especially when it comes to the crew and their safety. She’s been put into this role of captain, fighting with the realisation that any wrong move and her crew could die, just like her family was when she was younger.

I was nervous having such a large cast of secondary characters but honestly, they helped make the book. Each with their own personalities and what they bring to the table I fell in love with each of them.

I’m annoyed with myself for leaving it so long to read this book and I honestly cannot wait for the next book. I absolutely loved this book to the point that as soon as I had finished it I went and brought a physical copy.

This is perfect for any fans of pirate books and girl power! If you’re on the fence about this book please go pick it up. You’ll be pleasantly surprised by the world and the characters that Natalie C. Parker has created.

Thank you to NetGalley and Usborne Publishing for providing me with a copy of the book in exchange for an honest review.

This is the feminist badass pirate story I didn’t know I needed, even now with the conversations about the new Pirate of the Caribbean being an all female cast. I was really excited for this book, as I don’t tend to read many stories about pirates or that take place at sea.
I love books filled with action and this one has that, but there was something missing for me, I really enjoyed the writing style, it was a very quick read and easy. This is for sure a very different, adventurous, unique story. This is a very addictive book, I didn’t want to put it down.
I loved Caledonia as a character and as the captain. Now, let’s talk relationships! I loved how relationships (love and friendships) are described in this book, and how friendship and loyalty are themes addressed in this book. And that sneak peak at book 2 makes me want book 2 now!

I had been wanting to read this for so long, and was happy ro get an arc. It didn't disappoint! Feminist pirates, and a very well written book. Loved it

Seafire is a fantastic read, fast paced, gripping, full of action and has excitement on every page turn.

The writing style is fluent and easy to understand. There is a lot of use advanced technology which we do not have and the names of these and descriptions were well written without over sharing and dont leave you confused later.

The main character Caledonia is great, she is caring, passionate and determined to look after her family. And her crew are her family. She is surrounded by people who love each other, but don't necessarily agree with each other all the time - like all families!

I loved this so much i have pre- ordered Steel Tide book 2!

Thanks so much for this ARC

Such a good book, easy to read and a great story. So much so I finished Seafire and then two minutes later I had bought Steel Tide.. oops?

Can’t wait to see how it progresses and ends!

3.5/5 STARS

This was definitely an interesting read. I loved the idea of girl pirates and an entire feminst crew battling the seas. I instantly fell in love with Cal, I thought she was a brilliant female protagonist. The entire crew was also great, definitely some heartbreaks along the way.

The story did sag a little in the middle, the plot became repetitive and the story wasn't quite moving as expected. However, the last couple of chapters truly saved the story and made the ending worth it.

Seafire is the ultimate Girl Power novel. It takes the reader on a gripping and exciting adventure which has you on the edge of your seat. Looking forward to reading the next book in the series.
