This was what I hoped for and more! I loved the first book in this series “Compass Rose” and I was so excited to read Sea Wolf. I received a copy from the publisher and I am voluntarily leaving a review.more The premise is an awful catastrophe/apocalypse/human stupidity (that one feels more and more real) and yet there is so much hope in surviving.

There’s something very special about dystopian novels. It’s not always pretty however, but it’s very real. Burke’s characters are flawed and so very human, and character growth isn’t just a phrase. A lot of what Rose thought she had understood by the end of book 1 turns out to be false, or at least not exactly as true as she believed. While Sea Wolf answers some of the questions Compass Rose left open, it also brings up a whole new set. Rose and Miranda get to know each other better, and, at least for Rose, get to know themselves better too. The attraction and love and lust between Rose and Miranda are still significant in this instalment, but romance isn’t what this book is about at all. In my review of Compass Rose, I wrote about reluctant chemistry. In Sea Wolf even more than in Compass Rose, who one chooses to be and who one chooses to be with is everything. Even though Rose didn’t really choose who ended up being part of her family, she now has one, for better or for worse. One of my favorite themes in lesfic – and not only there – is that of chosen family. It’s precisely crafted to break the reader’s heart while not giving a lot of opportunity to breathe as they, along with the characters, are put through the wringer again. Anna Burke’s writing is at once beautiful and efficient.

With this book as with Anna Burke’s previous ones, each word feels as if it was carefully weighted, some put aside, discarded, so that only the exact right ones to tell this specific story remain. The way she writes, through Compass Rose, about the currents, the ocean, its inhabitants turns them all into characters in their own right. I’d read the author’s bio but what “enjoys all things nautical” really meant didn’t register until now. I have loved every book by Anna Burke that I’ve read (I still have to read Thorn), and I realised while reading this one that my favourites have one thing in common: boats. Right from the start, the author puts the characters in a very precarious situation, and things will keep getting worse. The Man o’ War crew is still trying to navigate life in a world where the ocean is the least dangerous place, and that’s saying a lot since it’s filled with lethal creatures and the air above reeks of deadly gas. I strongly recommend reading them in order. Sea Wolf picks up three months after the end of Compass Rose. This book is much too complex and smart for a few words to be enough, and too many words would take the focus away from what really matters, ie the book itself. The Man o’ War crew is still trying to navigate life in a world where the ocean is the least dangerous place, and that’s saying a lot since it’s filled with lethal creatures and the a This review is never going to do Sea Wolf justice.

This review is never going to do Sea Wolf justice. This swashbuckling 26th-century adventure novel is smart, colorful and quirky, yet it manages to deliver a healthy dose of heart, humor, and humility on every single page.more Unfortunately, that person is Compass Rose herself. As dark secrets bubble to the surface and everything she’s fought so hard for begins to crumble, Rose learns the hard way that she’ll have to rely on the only person who can save her from certain disaster.

As intrigue and subterfuge from enemies old and new begin to surround its captain, the infamous Miranda Stillwater, even an uncanny sense of direction won’t be enough to help Compass Rose navigate these dangerous straits. Life aboard the mercenary ship Man o’ War is rarely dull as hurricanes, swarms of jellyfish, and man-eating squid pose daily doses of danger.
