REALLY love this series. Jacky is by far the best character i've ever read about... up there with Harry Potter, Katniss, and Katsa (from HP, hunger games, and graceling respectively).
I just think she's one of the most well developed characters i've ever had the pleasure of reading about. That and the fact that i LOVE historical fiction and some romance tossed in with adventure and suspense is always good.
To me, Jamie and Jacky seem like the Spock/Kirk pairing over in the Star Trek fandom... (my OTP XD). Jacky's all wild and whatnot like Kirk, and Jamie's tight laced and lovely with the rules and whatnot, like spock, unless you get in the way of his Jacky!
Your thoughts on this series? and the upcoming book in october? I'm so excited!
YES ITS COMING THIS OCTOBEr!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I absolutely love Jacky she is well developed and her cunning is just insane. She's kinda like Jack Sparrow but she's not as goofy. But who am I to be comparing this well developed and dynamic character to anyone? You can't really compare her to anyone cause there is no precedent. She and Jamie have such a whirlwind of a relationship and you know that they will never get together in the early books *Cause when I started reading five books were already out* and you're like "NO DAMMIT I CANT BELIEVE THEY CANT BE TOgeTHER!!!!!!!!! SO CLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOSSSSSSSSSE!!!" And I never get that emotional on any other books. The first one also made me depressed when they were looking for land and everything cause of the mist and the sharks gah *shudders* I had to quit reading the book..
I also really like how the author usually does a recap of everything that happened in the book before, not many authors do that
GREAT series! I've read most of the books, I think theres one or two I missed. But I agree, it's a great series. One of the books that seemed to play in my head. Jacky is a great character, I think she's my favorite character. She's fun, creative, she had a mind of her own and she's not afraid to be herself, really. I really enjoyed this series <3
oh have you read the most recent one? i'm reading it right now. It was just released last month, "The Mark of the Golden Dragon"
its amazing so far, but
SPOILERX
again, she and jaimy aren't together for most of the book. it gets tiring >.< unlike rapture of the deep, where he was with her for, i think, more than half the book :D

Ah I love love loveeee this series. I love Jacky and Jamie so much. X3 Sadly I've only read the first two and a bit of the third, but I thought it was really fun. I plan on reading the others one of these days xD;; I think the first one will always be my fav though. ^^
