Finished "Legend of Fayre Sea: A Tale of Merfolk and Pirates" by E.V. Medina. This is the second book in the "World of Tiaera" trilogy. The first book I read from this author was co-written with another author. I also read a short story she wrote without a co-author. I believe Ms. Medina is a better author by herself. That isn't to say that this book was perfect, but it was better.
This was about Lord Tilden who is captured and forced to be a pirate. In a world of mermaids, however, one isn't necessarily trapped on a ship on the high seas. On the other hand, it's possible for fantasy characters to suffer Stockholm syndrome, as a way of remaining a pirate despite the possibilities under the surface, as happened to Quartermaster Felucia.
The book occasionally brought me back to my days of playing MMOs, with its references to raids (yes, I get that pirates raid, too) and the team setup going into a particular encounter, AOE effects, and so on.
