One word I would say about this book is that it is ambitious. It tells the story of an entire crew grappling with a seemingly ominous threat throughout their voyage, and the subsequent deaths surrounding it. The book makes use of a lot of the inconveniencies in the 1600s to further the plot. If you like And Then There Were None, you will enjoy this.
