![]() ![]() ![]() Miranda was hired by Comita to find out what threats lie along the coasts, which are famously difficult to navigate, hence the need for Rose to do the navigation. Rose’s boss, Admiral Comita, sends her to work undercover for a mercenary/pirate Captain, Miranda (though Miranda knows that Rose was sent by Comita). The descriptions of her navigating, and how she mingles knowledge of maps with attention to the most minute shifts in temperature, air pressure, salinity, and the presence and patterns of wildlife, are the most interesting passages in the book. She has an instinctual and unerring sense of direction as well as an ability to sense the most subtle changes in the ocean and the air. Rose is a navigator with the Archipelago Fleet. People live at sea on boats or on a small set of islands. ![]() In some areas the air is breathable but in others it is not. ![]() The seas have taken over much of the planet’s landmass and are so heavily polluted that sea life is drastically diminished. Our story begins in a post-apocalyptic world. The heroine, Compass Rose (yes, that’s her name) never gets lost, but I got lost in this plot all the dang time. However, I did not find the end to be entirely satisfying and I had a heck of a time keeping up with the plot. This is not a shock, since the book features lesbian pirates and giant squid and thus has “Carrie Bait” written all over it. ![]()
