This series is the one that truly got me into reading. I read the first five books, but when they discontinued having the books in stores, I was unable to continue reading them. A few years ago, my love for strong female heroines was brought back by ACOTAR and TOG series. So, I was able to purchase the remaining books in the series from Thriftbooks for a decent price. Though I am still working my way through the series, because L.A Meyer was very prolific in his writing, there is a conclusion to the Jack Faber story.
The books follow a young orphan who runs the streets of England, wreaking havoc and mischief with her motley crew of orphans. As a child, she truly only possessed one marketable trait, reading. After weighing her options of living on the streets and begging, she signs up for a position on a naval ship as a ship’s boy and disguises herself as exactly what the title expresses, a boy. Able to get away with this betrayal for several years, she is eventually found out and left to fend for herself. Having to leave the life, family, and love she has found and created for herself behind. Jacky starts her new life where adventure and grandeur follow her everywhere she goes.
Every book and journey in Jacky's life gets even more incredible and fantastic. Finding herself become a pirate, a spy in the French war, and even traveling down the Mississippi River. Of course, no Jacky Faber story is complete without her searching and trying to be reconnected with her love, Jamie Fletcher. Even if her eyes and occasionally hands may wander, he is the one who truly has her heart. Her other true love is performing. Spewing amazing tales, songs, and dances from her travels in taverns and for her crew is what she was made for.
This series is a true joy in my life and I very much look forward to completing it, and passing it down to future generations. It’s a wonderful period piece full of adventure and compelling narrative which immerses you fully into its world and story. I definitely recommend it to any reader who loved ACOTAR and TOG.
