zak_martell 's review for:

The North Water by Ian McGuire
2.5
adventurous dark slow-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Plot
Strong character development: No
Loveable characters: No
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: No

For a reasonably short book, it did feel slow at time.
I read The Terror recently and that’s a much longer book with a few similar elements, but it so much faster.

The villain is suitably vile, so if you're into truly awful (in a good way) antagonists, this book is worth reading.
