This book is kinda dense reading, more so than my little rom coms, less so than The Wager

“As if love and horror could not go hand in hand.”

Ha, I see what you did there

Well Bulkeley abandoned people on an island too so…. 🫠

End of chapter 19: they really left 4 people stranded then decided to go back and get them. Welp, they’re already dead 💀 good job everyone

I was really scared for the Kawésqar for a minute there. Glad they sensed trouble and left

Chapter 6 thoughts: 1) sailing in the 1700s was SO DANGEROUS
2) could the faster ships not slow down so they literally don’t lose their squadron??

Why is scurvy so much worse than what I thought it was omg. I’m about to go buy oranges tomorrow brb 😣

And Cheap is back as captain of the Wager!

I also find it interesting that the gunner stays to a ship while almost every other person can move ship to ship. It makes sense, but why not keep everyone on the same ship?

End of Chapter 2: audiobook helps me keep focus a lot. I know the book is about the Wager but it’s so interesting reading about how the entire group of ships intermingle. I’m also appreciating the different perspectives each chapter. I’m curious whether Cheap will end up on the Wager since we got his perspective in the first chapter.

Nah they’d have to kick me off the ship. There’s no way I’d be climbing 100ft to release some sails

It will never not amaze me how people sailed the oceans without technology, using the stars, the sun, and whatnot. Astounding

So I got the audiobook to accompany me while I’m reading so I down tune myself out. I feel like I need to pay attention to this one.

Also, boys as young as 6 on a ship working is crazy to me

“In her time as an apothecary, Maomao had come to believe there was no toxin so terrifying as a woman’s smile.”

I watched the anime for this and fell in love, so here I am with all the light novels in hand to read

Finished the first chapter! I fear it may take me a while to read this, that’s what I get for only reading fantasy and romance 😂

The Centurion could have 18 SAILS?! That’s an enormous ship!

Quite a different genre than what I’m used to, I’m excited!

So her mom is alive right, we can all agree on that

I love a good found family but I’m nervous about her spilling everything to them because us, the readers, don’t know them 😳

“Above the window is what looks like a signet of Clan Tower. It likely belonged to the previous owner.”

No ma’am, I know the author did not say that to be like teehee, this is random. Twino is a mole

I think I actually like Elorin

The author really likes the word monotonous
