Seafire follows captain Caledonia Styx and her fierce crew of female pirates. Betrayed by one of the Warlords Bullets, Cal is determined to make them pay for everything shes lost. The Warlord has been growing his crew of Bullets by stealing children from near by villages and getting them addicted to drugs. With the biggest fleet ever seen on the seas getting revenge wont be an easy task, but the crew of the Mors Navis are ready for a fight. Set in the future after the rising tide has left very little land, some futuristic technology still remains, but for the most part the people have reverted to older traditions where pirates reign supreme.

Besides the amazing and fierce female characters, we get a real and complexe main character with a touching back story. Yes she's badass, but she makes mistakes and has her doubts. The awesome female friendships also felt very authentic. Their crew is pretty big so its makes sense we didnt get to know all of them well, but the ones we do get to know were fantastic. I loved the found family aspect of their crew. Pisces has been with our main character since the start. She speaks her mind and keeps Cal on her toes. Not wanting Cal to lose herself in their quest for revenge.

Hime was definitely my favorite side character. She was saved from the Warlords crew and fought to recover from the drugs she was given. Now shes found her place as their healer and started a relationship with another female pirate. I think this was the first time Ive read about a character using sign language to communicate. I also loved Lace, Redtooth and the young crew member they pick up along the way. Even though we dont get to meet the antagonist in this first book I still felt his presence. The way he gets people addicted so they will do what he wants struck a cord with me.

The world was super fascinating with the mix futuristic technology and pirates. I never thought Id see two of my favorite things together. This book just brings the reader on a thrilling adventure filled with high stakes and gripping fight scenes. The author isnt afraid to kill of some people. I would have prefered no romance, but at least we got very little of it. This is my favorite pirate book to date. Had I been able to read the egalley instead of the physcial book Im sure I would have read it even faster. It was just very easy to get immersed in. I loved the premise of an all female pirate crew taking on a vicious warlord. The sequel is definitely one of my most anticipated books.

I got physical ARC from publisher and this review is based on that.

Will share review on my blog, Amazon and Goodreads closer to publication day.
