Hooo boy, this one is action-packed. Not only that, but Joron has largely come into his own, despite his multiple injuries. It honestly feels as though this were several books, rather than just one. Just so much to digest. And so good, on top of it.
I find it really interesting that war is apparently the only thing keeping The Hundred Isles and the Gaunt Isles going. They appear to not have the resources to keep it going, though, since we really have no idea what happens on land, I can’t really be sure of it. Just seems like the sea doesn’t provide enough to go around. This society is just odd to me. Even a hint of peace is taken as the worst and something to be destroyed. Maybe it’s a power thing, just seems crazy pants to me.
Call of the Bone Ships definitely highlights the pirate-y nature of The Tide Child series. There’s a lot more actual pirate-ing happening here. A bit more magic at play, too. The foreshadow of the end really being THE END of The Hundred & Gaunt Isles.
I really enjoyed this, I just don’t have a lot of thoughts about it. Looking forward to the next one.

Okay, I don't normally do this and I'm not sure how often I will be doing it but... I had an idea for who should play Meas Gilbryn if this series ever gets a live-action adaptation. In my head, I see Abigail Thorn, the actress who plays Sharako Lohar in House of the Dragon. I think she'd make a great Meas.
