Excellent . . . one of the most interesting and original fantasy worlds I've seen in years * Adrian Tchaikovsky, author of CHILDREN OF TIME on the Tide Child trilogy *

A viciously exciting adventure. I loved every second of it * Tasha Suri, author of Empire of Sand on THE BONE SHIPS *
A vividly realised high-seas epic that pulls you deep into its world and keeps you tangled there until the very last word * Evan Winter, author of THE RAGE OF DRAGONS, on THE BONE SHIPS *
The first in the Tide Child trilogy presents a unique and memorable world - harsh and brutal and full of fully realized, powerful female characters. Barker has managed to craft a story inspired by Moby Dick, Game of Thrones, and pirate lore, and readers will be drawn in and fascinated * Booklist *
A rip-roaring oceanic adventure, packed with violence and beauty. It's about the beauty of the sea and the brutality of humanity, as well as huge sea monsters and ship-to-ship battles. A perfect storm of fantasy storytelling * Starburst *
This world clearly contains wonders only hinted at in this first volume. Can't wait to find out more! * The Fantasy Hive, on THE BONE SHIPS *
Vivid world-building and thrilling naval warfare * Novel Notions, on THE BONE SHIPS *
