      The book was a bit disorganized. Reflects different grammar rules than what I usually see, not sure if that reflects mistakes or that Ireland uses different rules....

      While this was about a pirate queen I have no idea if her galleys had cannon. How much if at all they used muskets and several other thing that could easily been included.

      Overall this book felt more like a recitation of facts than relating the life story of an exciting individual.
    • 3/5
      Sometimes meandering but always fascinating tale of the historical Irish pirate Grace O'Malley. Largely written out of history by the Irish historians of her time for being a woman in a man's job, Chambers here goes a long way toward redeeming O'Malley's place in history.
    • 5/5
      A riveting picture of Irish history and the woman who should be as famous as Elizabeth I.
    • 4/5
      Grace O'Malley, AKA Granuaile, is one of those truly amazing historical figures who is both a product of her time and yet so impossibly modern in other ways. In a time when women didn't inherit and widows were lucky if they retained a home and a livelihood, Granuaile led her own army and her own fleet of ships. Reading this history can be frustrating, though, because so little is known about her, and Chambers is (understandably) reluctant to speculate. The sense of Granuaile's personality that come through the few primary sources is so tantalizing.
