Phoenix Rising by Bryony Pearce

4.0

Loved this! A pirate adventure on the high seas but with a very different, unique take on the setting which is post apocalypse Earth. The briny seas burn, the sun blinds and the seas are filled with useless junk making it difficult to navigate. The story rattles along with a good pace with plenty of swashbuckling action and burgeoning friendships. Throw in a quirky Polly parrot and rival pirate ships and you have a rollocking good page turner. The ending is a bit of a cliff hanger which is ok because the second book of the trilogy is well on it's way and I can't wait to read the further adventures of the Phoenix.

My thanks to NetGalley for a free digital proof in return for an honest review.
