Remember when RJ was a pirate-aholic? Remember those good ole days? Before vampires? Sigh. I miss pirates. I had really high hopes for The Dust of 100 Dogs because – Girl Pirate! And I did like it – or parts of it – but I didn’t like the whole boy/girl romance crap. It started in Ireland when Emir was a child and it lingered throughout the entire book. ‘A woman without a man is like wearing one shoe?’ BS.
Other than that, it was a fun story. But what happened to the jewels sewn into the capes? Did “he” rip those out and just replace them in the chest? Or what…? That wasn’t clear to me. I’m guessing he did because he’s a jerk, right?
And for those who might be wondering – there’s a wee bit of a gay (male) side story. Not a lot but it is there. And that’s why I’m going to drop this in the Queer topic… for those who might be wondering. 😉
