The way she writes, through Compass Rose, about the currents, the ocean, its inhabitants turns them all into characters in their own right. I’d read the author’s bio but what “enjoys all things nautical” really meant didn’t register until now.
I have loved every book by Anna Burke that I’ve read (I still have to read Thorn), and I realised while reading this one that my favourites have one thing in common: boats. Right from the start, the author puts the characters in a very precarious situation, and things will keep getting worse. The Man o’ War crew is still trying to navigate life in a world where the ocean is the least dangerous place, and that’s saying a lot since it’s filled with lethal creatures and the air above reeks of deadly gas. I strongly recommend reading them in order.
Sea Wolf picks up three months after the end of Compass Rose. This book is much too complex and smart for a few words to be enough, and too many words would take the focus away from what really matters, ie the book itself. This review is never going to do Sea Wolf justice.
