Art Blastside has dodged the gallows and married her true love. But life ashore is too tame for a pirate queen, so she jumps at the chance to go to sea again. England is at war, and the government wants Art to use her talents against the French. Naval war is horrific, and her arch-nemesis is bent on revenge. What price is Art willing to pay for her life of freedom? As gripping as the first Piratica, which Kirkus Reviews praised in a starred review as "a glorious roustabout of a tale," this book proves again why Tanith Lee is one of the world’s most popular fantasy writers. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

Piratica II by Tanith Lee.A perfect continuation of the story of Captain Art (Piratica) the intrepid daughter of Molly Faiththat started in Piratica. She was born to be on a ship on the open seas.Marvelous ending.
At first I wasn't so sure how I felt about this book. In the first several chapters it seems like Felix and Art don't really care for each other that much, and Art seems overeager for the sea, almost obsessively. But by about halfway through the book I was satisfied; what seemed like indifference was really just one of Art and Felix's trademark arguments. This plot line is well thought out, like that of the first "Piratica", and I LOVE the ending, not only because of the romance (although it is romantic as heck), but also the way Art and her crew contribute to the battle... It might be far fetched in another book, but in the world of Piratica it seems totally believeable. I don't really know what to say about this book, except it's a really great read. There's no needless chatter at the beginning, it goes directly to the action. The writing is really good, as always with Tanith Lee, and though it seems like the plot line is going all over the place and it would be impossible to bring it all together, everything is ingeniously concluded in the end. All I can say is, READ THIS BOOK! Although I have to admit that the first is probably a little better, the sequel is still very satisfying and I adore it. I love Piratica!
when i first read a review on Piratica 2, i was sure she had blown it, but when i saw it in the library i had to get it. almost immediately i was engrossed in its pages being swept along as Art skips back to sea. all in all this book is a growing up story. take a young woman who has never had to care for anyone before, marry her off, and keep her stuck on land for a long period of time and you get a spoiled little girl. but as she leaves her husband (not perminately mind) she begans to realize what a blessing she held in her arms. it isnt until she realizes there may be more on the way that she begins to realize that she needs to take more care for herself, if not for herself, then for her family. she goes from spoiled to considerate, from unapreciative to apreciative, and unfeeling to loving. all in all i thought this book was 10 times better than the reveiw made it out to be and i encourage you to read it for yourself. never put your whole oppinion on what others think.
There is something for everyone in the Piratica series. The more sophisticated audience can enjoy the irony (which will fly over the heads of the younger audience, because it's done so deftly that they won't notice it or be bothered by it). The adventure is there for anyone who wants to escape into another world, and the characters are often surprising and have nuances that come unexpectedly to keep the reader on her toes. A delightful yarn.
