![]() ![]() Which brings me to the two people endangering that feud with their “reluctant” fraternization, Charlotte and Alex. Watching the flamboyant pirates and uptight-but-just-as-bloodthirsty witches bend over backwards to keep the feud going even as they work together, all while exchanging the most delicious backhanded compliments, had me laughing out loud… and rooting for the feud to never end because it really is too fun to give up for anything. ![]() They like their feuding, darn it, and no youngsters will get in the way of it! Nor will silly little facts, like how witches and pirates are basically the same, except for the fact that witches do their magic in secrecy (or would, if witches existed *wink wink wink*) and pirates fly their houses around and land wherever they want, even if another house happens to be there already. ![]() The feud and the respective sides’ commitment to it is probably my favorite thing about this book. ![]() When the worst pirate of the lot makes off with it, a pirate and a witch join forces to steal it back… and their respective criminal communities join forces to separate them, lest they actually overcome their differences and thus put generations of (gleefully) bitter feuding to waste. When the lost amulet of Black Beryl, the first witch, resurfaces, every witch and pirate in London vies for the (dis)honor of stealing it - and keeping it. ![]()
