#BookReview: Ship of Spells by @hleightondickson

Book Cover
Synopsis:
A war-scarred mage. A sentient ship. A secret that could drown empires. 

When Ensign Bluemage Honor Renn is rescued from the wreckage of her first naval post, she expects death or disgrace. Instead, she wakes aboard the Touchstone, a mythic vessel whispered of in dockside ballads and royal war rooms alike. With a crew of misfits. A mysterious, elven captain. And a mission tied to the Dreadwall, the crumbling barrier that has kept the Overland and Nethersea from open war for a hundred years.

But the tragedy that sank her last ship didn’t just take lives―it left something behind.

Now Renn carries a secret everyone wants. A magik that’s chimeric, arcane...and slowly killing her. But the captain’s mission may be her only chance to survive, even if he still doesn’t trust her.

Caught between privateers, princes, and spies, Renn knows each choice could sink her future―or set the sea on fire.

Ship of Spells is perfect for readers who crave the raw grit of Arya Stark, the world-building of Samantha Shannon, and the slow-burn tension of enemies who should never trust or want each other.

My Review:
This was such a magical and beautifully written story! The world felt rich and alive, full of mystery and wonder that pulled me in right from the start. The characters were layered and easy to connect with, and the mix of fantasy and adventure kept me hooked the whole way through. The author’s writing style is so vivid, it was like watching the story unfold right in front of me. A truly enchanting read that any fantasy lover will enjoy!
