The Fervor was interesting and skillfully woven; this was a titanic fan fiction clusterfuck with random supernatural bits

Wouldn’t recommend

2.0

User kellate summed it up in my opinion by saying "All of this over some milquetoast man??????" So many unlikable characters making nonsensical decisions.

The main plot is essentially three women doing way too much (leaving their entire life behind, murder, suicide, offering their infant child to a sea god??) for a man who is average at best and a selfish gambler at worst.

I was really excited for a ghost story on the Titanic and this is so very far from what I wanted. Even the gay boxer plotline wasn't done well enough to save it.

It’s a horror novel, bad things happen to a variety of characters, read at your own discretion
