Bloody Jack: Being an Account of the Curious Adventures of Mary 'Jacky' Faber, Ship's Boy (Bloody Jack Adventures) by L.A. MeyerI listened to this mainly because it was a new audiobook available at the library, no wait, and sounded interesting enough. Very glad I went for it for two reasons: 1. Jacky is just flat out awesome. Though she's street wise enough, she's young and not quite as wise to the ways of the world as she thinks. She does use her smarts to land herself a job as a ship boy. She's a fighter and brave. She's also just a girl and not so brave. I love the mix. She knows when she's in over her head - not that she doesn't dive a little deeper as, well, she kind of has to. 2. Had I stumbled upon this to buy, it would have been Kindle, not audio. Audio is thee way to go with this book. Generally when I check out an audiobook I feel as though the person reading it does okay, but could be anyone, replace them and it wouldn't matter. That is not the case with this audiobook, no one else could have read it. It was too perfect. I started book two downloading while I was in the middle of book one, I loved it that much.
