Jane Garrick’s Reviews > The Terror > Status Update

Just wanna write down some brief thoughts before I commit to finishing the last 10% or so.
Seems to be taking some pages from Stephen King’s book with the sudden (or just barely gradual) descent of Mr. Hickey as this cartoonish and exaggerated villain. Also reminds me of Nick Cutter’s The Troop in a lot of ways, wouldn’t be surprised if The Terror’s writing inspired some of the plot in that?

Very pleasantly surprised that there is a somewhat positive example of gay representation in this. Very bittersweet and sad and beautiful relationship even though we’re only shown through fragments

Slowly making my way through this since it’s such a long piece of historical fiction. As someone already interested in the Terror and Erebus I’m thoroughly enjoying this. Was worried that it would be too slow or too boring but it’s a really pleasant reading experience even if it’s moving slower than the average novel.
