I thoroughly enjoyed reading this novel. It had the right balance for me. There was a refreshing amount of suspense throughout the book. I like that there wasn’t an overload of information based on the historical period and slave trade. My favorite character was Brandy. Brandy was used to the ways of the pirates and the aggressive temper of her Ireland roots. I rated the book 4 out of 4 stars

This book is very interesting. The story is about an orphan who fought for her destiny and the freedom of members of her community. I found the plot to be engrossing and inspiring. I really liked Brandy's character. She is a round character. I could easily relate with her. However, I disliked some characters in the novel. They were not well-developed. A good example of such character is Zhang Yang. He writing style is descriptive, precise, concise and enjoyable. This book is fundamentally a historical fiction. However, there are elements of romance, crime and thriller in the story. The cover is an accurate description of the plot. I enjoyed the book so I definitely recommend it to other people.

I enjoyed this book, particularly how the author immediately drops us into the action in the first chapter. I also liked that Brandy had to overcome her anger--though she is a princess, she's definitely not a damsel in distress. I think that this book could've used a bit more editing, particularly in the later chapters, so I would rate this one 3 out of 4 stars. But, it is one that I would recommend.

Baldwin's Ballad of a Pirate Princess is an excellent historical novel about pirates, sea captains, corruption, and enslavement. Brandy is a strong character for multiple reasons: she is fearless in the face of her opponents, she keeps her cool when fighting her opponents, and she does not let personal difficulties get in the way of her achievement. i rate it a 4 out of 4 stars.

There was a lot of suspense coupled with action. Out of all the characters I liked Brandy because she is fierce and strong.

The author's excellent writing skill is undeniable. I loved the fast-moving plot and the consistent characters. Lomore was both disgusting and intriguing to say the least. The editing was also top notch.
