Pirates of Aletharia

By: Britney Jackson

Narrated by: Lindsey Dorcus

A sapphic fantasy romance for people who love dangerous women, magical worlds, and lesbian pirates.

Emilia Drakon was once the youngest and kindest of the dragon sorcerers, but she's now the last of her kind. Betrayed and angry, she trades her meekness for a sword and embarks on a quest for vengeance that will lead her straight into the arms of the legendary Captain Maria Welles.

Captain of the famed pirate ship, the Wicked Fate, Maria is every bit as treacherous and bloodthirsty as they say. She has her own vendetta and practically jumps at the chance to trick Emilia into joining her crew.

But when their animosity toward each other blossoms into a passionate romance, the two women will have to decide what they want most.

Vengeance?

Or love?

Contains mature themes.

Wahoo! What an adventure!

Holy shenanigans that was a fun book. There will be a sequel I’m assuming, so if you hate cliffhangers wait for the next book. I’ll admit, I cursed a bit after noticing there wasn’t a sequel on audible. Don’t worry I emailed the author to see when we could find more of her books in audible library.
I honestly wanted to binge this book so badly, I stayed up way too late two nights in a row. The characters are phenomenal, and the world that Elizabeth created is fantastic. The narration was perfect and overall this was just a great book. It’s definitely going in my top 10 list.
A little about why I review.

I am recovering from a brain injury that has caused difficulty for me in many areas including reading, or watching any type of screen. Audiobooks have become the only form of entertainment I can engage in. I started reviewing books in order for me to remember whether or not I should re-listen to a particular book. I fallen into that trap too many times. On average, I listen to approximately 250 hours of audiobooks or podcasts per month. I’m an easy-going person so, if I don’t like something it’s pretty rare. A bad narration is my sticking point though, I will disregard the best book if the narrator is terrible.

I listened twice because I couldn’t get enough!

This is my first review ever, but I want to give Britney Jackson and Lindsey Dorcus their deserving credit! This was an enthralling, exciting adventure with desirably, broken complex characters, teasers of future, more elaborate story lines (hopefully) and of course the surge of dopamine with almost every chapter! If you enjoy an fantasizing escape with an absolute incredible narrative from Lindsey, look no further. I listened twice, because I just was not ready to leave the world of Aletharia. And I’m so glad I did as I was able to hear the subtle clues to future books, along with really feeling the complexity of the two main characters. Fantastic listen, Thankyou.

Very fun book!

I am honestly excited for what comes next!

so much left unfinished! I need more

Can't wait for the next!

Just finished and I'm so sad it's over. It's been a long time since I have missed book characters. Well written and well narrated. I'm very happy that it looks like there will be a book two.

Good lesbian content, I fully dissociated.

Okay, yes, it takes a long time to get to the goods; but I have a lot of time to kill, and that was fine. It's got dragons, it's got pirates and lesbians; what more could you want?

A great slow burn romance

This book has less action that I thought would be in it, but the relationships were so well written and the characters were so charming. Such a slow burn romance and the dialogue and depth to the characters is done really well. If you like character development and lean more into interactions than world-building or action, than this is the book for you.

Fun lady Pirate and Witch Love Adventure

I enjoyed this story with it’s hardened lady Pirate who had a hard time expressing her tender side. The love hate relationship kept me entertained but I’d say the witch character seemed somewhat dense regarding her insightfulness on being in love. But perhaps the author made the character this way due to her history. The narrator was splendid with a smooth tone which was pleasant to the ears. I’m looking forward to enjoying the second book in this series to see both of these characters explore their love new adventures.

Loved this book

The narration was exceptional! Great story, and I definitely laughed out loud a few times. I highly recommend this book and I can’t wait for the sequel.

Wow.

I didn't expect to find a new favorite? I could easily listen to this again.

Never knew I liked pirates!

This was so goooood!!!! Turns out I was missing on something like representation, because these pirates are fire... Im ready to sign the contract 😂😂😂😂😂
