Timy reviews The Bone Ship’s Wake, the third book in RJ Barker’s Nautical Fantasy trilogy, The Tide Child. She previously reviewed The Bone Ships and Call of the Bone Ships. The Bone Ship’s Wake is to be published on August 30, 2021, by Orbit.
Call of the Bone Ships by RJ Barker
Call of the Bone Ships was one of my most anticipated books in 2020, and for a good reason. I really loved its sequel, The Bone Ships and I was pretty sure I’m not going to be disappointed. And hoo boy, I was not. It’s been a while I was so emotionally impacted by a book. RJ Barker absolutely destroyed me.
Interview with RJ Barker
RJ Barker is the author of The Wounded Kingdom and The Tide Child series. We’ve talked about his books, writing, my favourite character and his future plans.
The Bone Ships by RJ Barker
The Bone Ships is the nautical fantasy I didn’t know I needed in my life. I loved the characters who weren’t just “good” or “bad”, I loved the different creatures that made this world so vivid and mysterious, I loved how Jude Owusu made me feel and react to his reading. If you are looking for a character-driven fantasy, which is not filled with fighting scenes but focuses more on exploring human nature, then look no further. I’m pretty sure the Tide Child and the arakeesian would be grateful for the company of another adventurer.
