The Night Ship

2.3/5 ✩‧₊˚

i've re rated this after i can't remember how it ends at all

Oh it doesn't feel right to give this book such a harsh rating when I don't think I was the intended audience.

I've discovered I'm a very plot driven reader, and this was extremely character based. The pacing - felt so slow for me at the start and I was pushing myself through it (something I said I wouldn't do this year).

The writing is beautiful, the world created is gorgeous. I could picture it all perfectly and that deserves so much praise. I love the ocean, I love the ships & islands. There were incredibly wholesome moments too.

With the plot, I'm not even sure I understood what happened - and this may be because I'm dumb and I'm off my ADHD medication, but I found this very difficult to follow.

so i'm halfway through i think, and i just feel like i have to keep dragging myself through. it's such a shame because it's a beautiful book, the characters and the imagery are top notch, im just a plot driven gal.

₊˚⊹♡ pre-reading

the spinny wheel has chosen... the night ship! i'm not sure what genre i'd put this under, but it's based of the coast of western australia so it's home territory. and it's based on a ship! i love stories about pirates, loved the greyjoys in GOT - so im hoping i'll love this one.

i've done well picking some highly rated reads recently so im hoping the streak will continue ⋆ ˚｡⋆୨୧˚
