Cagebird

This is a good, disturbing book. It's a look at war and child abuse through the eyes of a boy who's recruited by pirates. It's tough to read in parts because of this content. The writing style however is wonderful and it's a fairly easy read. This is the third book of a trilogy. I didn't realize it was such but the novel stands alone pretty well. It won the Gaylactic Spectrum award for positive LGBTQ images in science fiction and fantasy back in 2006. However this content is obscured by the sexual abuse the protagonist endures.
