The Ace of Skulls by Chris Wooding
3.5
Frey takes his crew on a rescue mission for a whispermonger’s business partner who went missing looking for a treasure cache. Only thing is, it is in the war zone of Korrene, strife with Knights and the Awakeners. The civil war the crew of the Ketty Jay were responsible for.
Maybe it’s because I binged this series back-back-back, but this last story felt too repetitive and didn’t engage me.
Character motivations felt unrealistic or backwards, and everything the series has been building towards character-wise seems to have been reversed even though the plot points all come together.
Overall, yes, I would recommend this series, but I did feel slightly let down by this last instalment. It might have worked better as a trilogy.
’We a losin' hand, Cap'n, he said. 'But you the Ace of Skulls. Anyone can turn us to winnin', you can.'
