Call of the Bone Ships

Call of the Bone Ships has one of my favorite openings - from the opening quote to the first few chapters, this was super exciting. A stark contrast from the first book in the series, which was difficult to get into at first.

Weirdly the opening is my personal highlight from this book, though it never lets up.

We get a lot more of what made the first book great, but better. Everything flows, the characters and how they get along work, and I found myself being more invested in this one's story compared to The Bone Ships. Joron improves, and Meas remains great. I kind of miss a bit more focus on the other characters, though they also get their moments to shine.

If you liked the first one, I most definitely recommend this!
