Review: The Bone Ships (The Tide Child Trilogy #1) by RJ Barker

March 29, 2021 by chilcottharry 4 Comments

I’ve been trying to think of a witty way to start this review. Maybe I could start with a sailing joke? Instead, I’m going to begin with a statement; The Bone Ships, by Robert Holstock Award winner RJ Barker, is utterly phenomenal!

Review: Call of the Bone Ships (The Tide Child Trilogy #2)

February 16, 2021 by Traveling Cloak (Jason) Leave a Comment

The Call of the Bone Ships is part 2 in R.J. Barker’s The Tide Child Trilogy, and, in my opinion, while it does represent an expansion on the first book in the series, The Bone Ships, and presents some similarities it is also very different in a lot of ways. That being said, I still found it to be a very enjoyable read.
