The Navigator's Touch by Julia Ember
5.0
What an absolute treasure this series was. I was FURIOUS when I reached the end, assuming it was the 2nd book in a trilogy, and went to look up when the 3rd book would come out and found it is in fact a duology. Like the first book, this one is a queer feminist reimagining of a well-known folk story, Peter Pan, with Norse mythology and pirate lore woven in. It felt like a story the author really enjoyed writing, and I certainly really enjoyed reading it!
cw: the author thoughtfully included content warnings which include: kidnapping, murder of child, beating with belt, torture, animal death, battle injuries, human-eating monster, graphic execution (I would have described this scene as "revenge/torture leading to death of an antagonist character"), abuse & imprisonment of children. At the back of the book, these content warnings can be found with specific chapter numbers.
