Current read: Call of the Bone Ships by RJ Barker
Book 2 of the Tide Child trilogy
If you grew up reading Ranger’s Apprentice/Brotherband then I highly recommend this series— lots of nautical elements including ship lingo and long voyages. It’s a high fantasy series, so it has Pirates of the Caribbean-esque elements as well. The sea battles are incredibly well-written.

I’ve seen reviewers classify these books as grimdark, but I disagree with that mainly because of the main character Joron and his captain (shipwife), Lucky Meas. Though hardened by the circumstances of their lives and their tragic pasts, both of these characters, along with many of the side characters, have strong moral compasses and a conviction to do what’s right.
I’m enjoying this series a lot so far and I think it definitely deserves to more well-known. I would love to see the fandom grow too because I haven’t found anyone to talk about it with yet 🥲 (if you have read them pls interact bc I am desperate to scream about Joron with someone)

Rant and RotDS spoilers incoming:
Why the hell did Kendra decide to go back to the Fairy Realm?! She’s supposed to be the one who makes smart decisions but girl’s just gonna get herself captured again 😭
We could have gotten a scene where she rousts the Knights of the Dawn to fight, and the return of Trask, Mara, Elise, and all the other characters from the OG series who just disappeared after KttDP. Instead we get… whatever that was lol
It’s just so unlike her that it’s obvious that the scene was written as her “making a dumb decision” just so Seth’s hero arc can advance and that boils my blood
Rant over lmao
On a different note Kendra and Raxtus are going back to Obsidian Waste!! It’s just a fly-thru and I doubt we’ll see the return of any OG characters but it feels so nostalgic :)
I love Hastra but because of that fact he’ll probably die a horrible death
