Mississippi Jack Being an Account of the Further Waterborne Adventures of Jacky Faber Midshipman Fine Lady and Lily of the West Bloody Jack Adventures L A Meyer 9780152060039 Books

I’m an ardent fan of the Jacky Faber stories, I find it an exceptional series with good research, colorful characters, and lots of action and complex plots. I love the fact that it’s a woman adventurer and when all is said and done she one way or another escapes and manages to make a bad situation better by her presence. In Mississippi Jack, we start where belly of the Bloodhound left off, the arrest of Jackie on the HMS Juno. Great way to end book 4 by the way. Ever since the marines bayonets cross in front of her and she was told “Miss Faber, by order of His Majesty, King George the Third, you are under arrest on the charge of Piracy!” I’ve been imagining in my mind what would happen. I pat myself on the back that I called it right what I thought would happen did, but then I missed a couple of things including how the escaped happened then the rest of the adventure was fun and entertaining but unlike other books in the series so far some things bothered me. This story is perhaps the least effective of the five stories I’ve read so far for it diverted from the structure of the pervious four stories in a number of ways. One there were an explosion of supporting characters beyond those that were carry over from prior books; Jaimy, Higgins, Katy, and Jim now were joined by (stops and counts) at least a dozen other supporting characters and four more supporting bad guys or groups and a new roué British officer. Just too much of a good thing actually some like the ship boy’s story disappears entirely from the point he was picked up till the very end of the book I had to wonder why he as there at all. So while I enjoyed the book and love the series this will get just three stars this time. Although I thought as always some parts were very well written and historically close to the facts, and I loved the American frontier aspect and the trip down the Mississippi those parts I loved became entangled in so many other subplots like the final fight in New Orleans just too entangling and muddy to make much sense.

Mississippi Jack Being an Account of the Further Waterborne Adventures of Jacky Faber Midshipman Fine Lady and Lily of the West Bloody Jack Adventures L A Meyer 9780152060039 Books Reviews

In this, the 5th novel in the picaresque/historical fiction series about the adventures/misadventures of the irrepressible Jacky Faber, we see our heroine again narrowly escaping transport back to England to be hanged for piracy. Jacky then begins another rousing adventure tale as she travels west to the Allegheny-Ohio-Mississippi Rivers on her way to New Orleans, meeting characters along the way that sound like they could have come from the pens of Mark twain, James Fenimore Cooper, and George MacDonald Fraser. She meets and shelters a runaway slave named Solomon (just like Twain's Huck Finn and Jim), a free-spirited backwoodsman and a Shawnee, Lightfoot Bumpus & Chee-a-quat, (Cooper's Natty "Leatherstocking" Bumppo & the Mohican Chingachgook), Royal Navy Lieutenant Flashby and Captain Richard Lord Allen (sharing the good and bad traits of Fraser's anti-heroic rogue Harry Flashman). The author, Louis A. Meyer, throws in the "Larger Than Life" Mike Fink of American Folklore and many other interesting (albeit flawed) folks. Jacky seems to have a knack for getting into trouble and thoroughly loves the attention she receives (except for the rough handling, imprisonment, and tar and feathering parts, that is). All in all, this is one heck of an exciting riverboat ride and the most rollicking Jacky Faber escapade yet. I highly recommend this and the other books in the series.
Mississippi Jack Being an Account of the Further Waterborne Adventures of Jacky Faber, Midshipman, Fine Lady, and Lady of the West (Bloody Jack Adventures) by L. A. Meyer continues the story of Jacky Faber as she heads into the West to escape British Authorities and eventually heads south to New Orleans. And every step of the way, Jacky's beloved, Jamie, is always right behind her but never close enough to be with her.

I wasn't crazy about a few things in the book and it seemed to get a bit ridiculous on how much and quickly everyone went to Jacky's side, but overall it wasn't bad. It's not a bad book or series. It keeps you interested all the way through. Even though it does get a little annoying how Jacky always seems to get away so easily.

Because I noticed a few reviews mentioning "adult" themes in this book and that it shouldn't be a young adult book, I just wanted to touch on that. It mentions about rape, though no one is actually raped. If that is too "adult" for you, then maybe this isn't the right book for you. Honestly though, I don't think it's that bad. There are so many more books in the young adult genre that are just as bad if not worse with "adult" topics like that. (Some go into further detail than this book does.) Not only that, but the news has just as much if not more "adult" topics in it as well. So, if you think this book is too adult for you, then maybe you should stay in a bubble where you read nothing, see nothing, and don't even go on the internet because that has too many "adult" themed things on it.

I did enjoy this book, even though it wasn't the best Bloody Jack book in the series. I still recommend this book to anyone and the series as well because it is a very good series.
In the fourth book of the series, Jacky crosses early America by water, meeting many interesting characters along the way as she travels the waterways to New Orleans. As per usual, she makes and loses new friends as she goes from one adventure to another, in constant peril. But with luck, pluck, skill, and a lot of help from her friends she remains our irrepressible and lovable Jacky who always manages to stay on top of any situation. As historical fiction goes, this is one of the best series of books I have ever read. Jacky is my hero, uh, I mean heroine, no wait, hero....oh you’ll understand.😘
