About this deal

Het boek eindigt met een leuke cliffhanger en ik vraag me dan ook af als dan toch nog een vierde deel komt. The main plot focuses on Louise Reydon-Joubert, first introduced as an 8-year-old child in the Epilogue of ‘The City of Tears’.

A sweeping and epic love story, ranging from France in 1610 to Amsterdam and the Canary Islands in the 1620s, The Ghost Ship is a thrilling novel of adventure and buccaneering, love and revenge, stolen fortunes and hidden secrets on the High Seas. Gilles and Louise fight the perception that society has of them, both displaying fascinating journeys that seem to end with accepting each other and building a life together. For new readers, the author includes some recaps of events in earlier books and a helpful list of principal characters.I was glad The Ghost Ship works as a standalone, until the end with its cliffhanger, but I think there will be a 4th, thank goodness. In 1620, following a miscarriage of justice, Louise leaves Amsterdam on her merchant ship, the Old Moon, and eventually becomes its captain.

Louise Reydon-Joubert makes a spirited protagonist, determined not to let her gender prevent her achieving her ambition to become captain of her own ship, an ambition she has harboured (if you’ll pardon the pun) ever since her first experience aboard a ship as a young girl. The 3rd tome of the Burning Chamber series is coming out this month and I am so thankful I have been given a galley!Her quest to break the rules is heart-pounding and vibrant and taking the journey with Louise ,and following her adventure, is everything you could want in a pirate story . A mysterious vessel floats silently on the water – its hull splintered and its sails tattered and burnt. Overall, ‘The Ghost Ship’ was one of my most anticipated historical novels of the year and I found it excellent from start to finish.
