Sky Knight

DNF - PG 55

Why?

Taliah claims to be a whore the captain invited aboard and proceeds to convince the entire (all male) crew to send the captain to her. The captain goes, apparently unconcerned that he never invited her. We are told she's used this more than a dozen times and that she ‘always get's her man'. (She's not a member of the Mounties!) (Then her embarrassment and ‘I had to improvise'?)

She then feels some odd, motherly urges towards the poor young boy who's locked into the life of a pirate - after all ‘there was nothing she could say to change his mind; his time had passed'. And then she leaps around and decides to take him with her to be a sky knight. (And I can't help but feel that should be capitalized.) And it sounds like established kangaroo court justice to me.

I feel terrible, considering I got this book free from the author (won it and I was never asked to review it) but I just can't with it.
