Bring It Close Sea Witch Voyages Book 3 eBook Helen Hollick
I love Helen Hollick as an author. She brings the reader into the story with her vivid descriptions of events and her character development. I gave this book 4 stars rather than 5 because I didn't like all the new age philosophy she brought into the witchcraft of Tiola. My eyes were rolling every time the "good witch" vs the evil of Teach narrative was expounded. It was bad against really bad to me. Other than that it was a great story, well told by Hollick's talented hand.Product details

Bring It Close Sea Witch Voyages Book 3 eBook Helen Hollick Reviews
I'm gradually working m y way through the Sea Witch series, wanting to eke them out and make them last, as they are such fun, escapist reading, filled with action and adventure but populated by three-dimensional characters who become more and more interesting with each book as their back stories are gradually expanded. Jesemiah Acorne is of course the epitome of the lovable rogue, the swashbuckling pirate with a heart of gold, though that doesn't hold him back from battling with adversaries, including, in this book, the horrific villain Blackbeard, real name (because he was a real person) Edward Teach. I love the way Helen Hollick combines historical fact with intriguing fantasy, including mythical sea legends and Cornish tradition, the latter introduced via the delightful and spirited heroine Tiola Oldstagh, she of the magical powers.
I also really enjoyed learning (without feeling like I was having a history lesson) about life in Colonial America, seeing settlers build towns and establish laws as far as they can when madmen like Blackbeard still hobnob with those in authority, making life for the law-abiding horrifically perilous.
I say Jesemiah has a heart of gold, because he is merciful and compassionate to underdogs, but Helen Hollick keeps it real by making him also comply with the expected moral code of the pirate of his day, continuing to wield guns and knives to save himself and his beloved ship, and falling easily into bed with other women than the love of his life,
Anyone picking up a book about pirates should not be surprised at a bit of bloodshed, and there are moments of chilling violence in this book, but they are essential to the story and to historical accuracy rather than gratuitous. As someone who is very sensitive and suggestible to such things, I'm happy to keep reading and just grit my teeth at those passages, and have avoided any nightmares so far! It is important, though, to keep the story grounded and balanced with indications of the lawlessness and danger of the times. Captain Pugwash it ain't!
Looking forward to reading the next books now, particularly as book 5 has just been published, so I know I've got plenty of Jesemiah's adventures to keep me going while the author writes book 6 (I hope!)
Bring It Close is the 3rd voyage of Captain Jesamiah Acorne, pirate, scamp and someone you’d always want to have your back. The Sea Witch series is a blend of my favourite gentles, historical with just the right touch of fantasy. I loved the first two instalments, but this one is my favourite so far.
We pick up with Jesamiah and Tiola after he’s received amnesty from his pirating from Governor Rogers in Nassau. He’s not bored (and up to no good) for too long before he and Tiola are off—she to birth a baby in North Carolina and he to sort out his newly inherited estate in Virginia, along with all the baggage that comes with it. But very soon, the Malevolent Evil that has caused Tiola and Jesamiah so much grief before is at it again, this time in the form of Edward Teach, Blackbeard himself!
Jesamiah is one of those rare heroes who leaps off the page. He’s both hero and anti-hero, and even when he’s behaving like a scamp, it’s not hard to forgive him. And Tiola is like a northern star, steadfast and fixed. I just love her too. In Bring It Close, Jesamiah had to confront the ghosts of his past (literally) while defeating the monsters in the present. There were so many twists and turns that continued until the end. A brilliant page turner.
this is a great series i think is part of the priating series she has
excellent read...i am just about finished with all Helen has written
I really love this series from Hellen Hollick. As usual she is very meticulous with historical facts and as usual you won't be able to put it down.
I am addicted to Jesamiah. Not so much Tilia, however much I like her... Yet another swashbuckling tale in which Jesamiah's past is revealed. I love how elegantly Ms Hollick weaves together her fictional characters wit real life persons, such as the despicable Edward Teach, a.k.a. Blackbeard. Well-researched, this is a fun and absorbing read that leaves me wanting more!
I love Helen Hollick as an author. She brings the reader into the story with her vivid descriptions of events and her character development. I gave this book 4 stars rather than 5 because I didn't like all the new age philosophy she brought into the witchcraft of Tiola. My eyes were rolling every time the "good witch" vs the evil of Teach narrative was expounded. It was bad against really bad to me.
