This is the first book I have read in this series and it was phenomenal! It is action packed and kept me hooked until the end. I loved Louise and Gilles. I am looking forward to reading the other books in this series. Great historical book!

The Ghost Ship is book 3 in The Burning Chambers series by Kate Mosse.

This is a great, fast-paced, action-packed historical mystery.
A sweeping historical epic of adventure on the high seas.
Honestly this is my fist time time reading her work and I have to admit I was loving it by the time I hit chapter three.
I thought this was a vividly engaging story.
I was instantly swept up into the suspense and the stylishly detailed lives of the characters.
The tension is high, the suspense even more so.
There’s romance, crime, mystery, gothic themes, and history.
A very rich and superb story that will grab you from the very first page.
With intrigue, drama, love, revenge and adventure Kate Mosse kept me pulled in the entire time!

The Ghost Ship is the third book in a series and my first. I wasn't sure if I needed to read the first two before, but I didn't and I could still follow this story. The story is full of adventure with a strong female character. The settings were well depicted and I felt I was sailing right along with them. The story will draw you in from the first pages and this is a great historical read!

Thanks to Netgalley and St. Martin's Press, Minotaur Books for a digital ARC in exchange for my honest review.

Attracted to the description of this as “a sweeping historical epic of adventure on the high seas” I was disappointed to find out that most of this story does not take place at sea.

Many chapters are devoted to the background of the main characters detailing their families, how their paths cross and how they eventually end up on #TheGhostShip. The story is definitely sweeping in scope, covering many locations and involving a large cast of characters during an interesting period of history. However, this wasn’t the book I was expecting so the many subplots of the characters’ back stories seemed like barriers to what I thought would be the main story of an adventure at sea.

The story is well researched and written but the pace was far too slow for me.

Thanks to #NetGalley and #StMartinsPress for the ARC!

The Ghost Ship by Kate Mosse is an excellent historical fiction that is the third in the wonderful The Burning Chambers series.

I loved traveling back to the early parts of the 17th century. I learned so much about ships, seafaring, life, dangers, and the open seas during that time with this novel. I always love it when I cam learn something while I am being entertained.

While I read this book first in this series, I enjoyed it so much I have already purchased the first two and am awaiting their arrival. While I was easily able to get in the game jumping into the series with this book, I think I would have treasured it more if I would have had a bit of history built up first. Still, excellent.

5/5 stars

Phenomenal!! Love this book. Louise and Gilles Barenton are amazing characters and had you hooked to their stories from the very beginning. The people they meet and the adventures they embark on will have you glued to the pages until the very end. Such wonderful drama and intrigue. Highly suggest this book to anyone who loves stories from this time period!

What a great adventure story. Great characters you care about. I can’t wait for the next book to continue the story.

The Ghost Ship by Kate Moss is a wonderful story of adventure, history in the 1600s and just plain good storytelling. Not having read any of the previous books about the Joubert family, I look forward to having something to go back to. The French, Dutch and Canary Islands location and all the things happening there in the 1600s makes for a very good read.

Privileged to have been granted the gift of reading this 1600 saga of survival as a female with skills and knowledge to oversee a ship in treacherous times. Unusual twist in this story that brings two women together to overcome extreme odds.
