Review Exuding all the vibes of a bona fide modern fantasy classic, The Ship of Strays never strays from a path of wonder, enchantment and invention. ― LoveReading4KidsIn the final part of the Geomancer fantasy trilogy, Ysolda has unlocked earth magic, and its powers are rising within her. With the help of a rebel princess, she sets out to race against the fearsome wolf queen. On their stormy journey over the sea, they face pirates and peril, and the future of the whole world is at stake ― The Week JuniorThe Ship of Strays is the third book in the Geomancer series and the final chapter of Ysolde's story...The majority of the story takes place on the ship, and it is this claustrophobic atmosphere that lends much to the tensions of the book..the book picks up pace as it nears the end and the finale is breathtaking (literally). The cover and illustrations by Manuel Sumberac are eye catching and a lovely addition to the book. I always appreciate a book with a map too and frequently flicked to the inside cover to look at the journey the ship was taking...This felt like a very fitting end to a high octane and spectacular trilogy. ― ReadingZone About the Author Kiran Millwood Hargrave is an award-winning, bestselling novelist.
