![]() The opening of the second book has Cas training to take over the pirate ship called Minnow, and in competition with four other young pirates. At the end of the first book, she joins their crew. ![]() What is threatening the oceans’ ships? Pirates - lot s of them - which Cas raises a Reckoner for a band of pirates that kidnapped her. This was brought about as Cas’ world became more reliant on ships after global warming melted the polar ice caps. Reckoners are specially created sea monsters that were engineered to protect ocean ships. Protagonist Cassandra Leung - Cas for short - was born and raised to be a Reckoner trainer. Skrutskie’s ability to weave their relationship into the action-packed plot was masterful.

Now, I don’t normally review serial books for my column, but this one I’ve made an exception for since the story revolves around a pair of lesbian pirates. ![]() “The Edge of the Abyss” by Emily Skrutskie is the second book in a series, with “The Abyss Surrounds Us” being the first book. Imagine a future where pirates’ attacks are foiled by bio-engineered monsters. Last Updated: December 21, 2017, 3:58 pm Book Nook: ‘The Edge of the Abyss’ entertaining, unusual read ![]()
