Really enjoyed this book! The world building was incredible, with all kinds of animals, plants, systems, titles, etc all new to the reader! Absolute need more dark, high fantasy pirate books like The Bone Ships. I was a little confused towards the beginning due to the unfamiliarity of the world, but as the book continued I began to get a better understand of everything. I highly recommend it to anyone who enjoys fantasy, especially books on the darker side of the genre!
