My brain is just a pile of goo at this point in my pregnancy, but even though this took me altogether too long to read, I enjoyed it. The first section was a tad confusing due to the worldbuilding, but I ended up loving it. I'm curious to see where the discussion of gender goes in the next book.

Normally I wait 12+ hours before writing a review, but The Bone Ships is a 5, a 5, a freaking 5. It is unlike anything I've read in the greater Fantasy pantheon, and in the future I'll not be dreaming of being captain to a ship, but of being shipwife!  

Next book I'll try to wait again, but it'll change nothing. 5. 5. 5!
