The Bone Ship's Wake by RJ Barker
4.0
This final book was pretty much action-packed most of the way through, after what was a slower start compared to the previous book. It was a little confusing in some parts, but in many ways it’s quite a confusing world. I still had a really good time with it though and there was a lot of emotion in the pages.
I thoroughly enjoyed the overall journey through this world, with the bone ships and arkeesians, and all of the weird and wonderful creatures and plant life and so forth. The main unspoken premise of this being a world without trees is a really interesting concept, and I like how it’s not mentioned at all because there’s no need to mention trees in a world where trees don’t exist – they’re just conspicuous by their absence.
The story is good, the characters are good, and I loved the way that the very start of The Bone Ships is revisited here so the series comes full circle, in a very satisfying way.
