The Ghost Ship by Kate Mosse

3.75

After reading the synopsis of The Ghost Ship I was instantly intrigued and had been wanting to pick up a historical fiction book that wasn’t set around WWll. What I didn’t realize when I picked up The Ghost Ship was that it’s the third book in the series and having not read the previous two books I feel you can read it as a stand alone. There was enough information provided in the beginning of the book to give me some highlighted insights to the previous books which center around the main character’s grandparents and their early history.  This book was throughly researched and written taking the reader on a high seas adventure in a time of unrest and expansion. 

The main character, Louise, is well ahead of her times in her desire and ambition to break societal norms for women of that day and age. I would be remiss as to not point out that she did not do it alone and walked side by side with her trusted aid and companion Gilles, also ahead of their time, and the crew of The Old Moon. 

Thank you @minotaur_books @stmartinspress and @netgalley for this gifted arc in exchange for my honest feedback.
