The Ghost Ship by Kate Mosse

patiolinguist's review against another edition

Thoroughly enjoyed this swashbuckling adventure. A historical romance featuring lesbian pirates just hits the spot like few other things. Watch out for exciting wrist grazes and ankle sightings!

autumnchild's review against another edition

From the blurb I was expecting something else. I really wanted to like this book, but the writing style is not my thing and the story feels very boring. 193 pages in a no mention of the Ghost Ship and, besides a brief chapter, all the action is still happening in various cities. It feels like the book is a very long premise and the action will come later towards the end.

Highly enjoyable, exactly what you would expect from a Kate Mosse novel: a solid historical fiction with strong female characters, a page-turning adventure, and a touch of romance (LGBTQ+ this time!).

The only thing that really took me out of the story is the butchered dutch pronunciation in the audiobook... And then I learned from the acknowledgements there was actually a Dutch speaker advising on this!
