The Arctic Fury - extreme adventure in a historical setting

 


The Arctic Fury

by Greer MacAllister 

4/5 stars

⭐⭐⭐⭐


I really enjoyed the Arctic Fury!

The story is a construction very loosely based on some facts, and is about an all-female expedition to search for 2 lost British ships of history, the Terror and the Erebus.

The leader of the expedition is a woman named Virginia, who has experience guiding settlers out west to California. The funding for the adventure comes from the wife of one of the lost British officers.


The story was well-written, with beautiful descriptions, allowing you to see the action and scenery in your mind's eye. The story goes back and forth from the aftermath of the expedition to the expedition itself.

I don't want to give any spoilers, but both sections are very intriguing and really draw the reader in.

I must say for me, I was more interested in the expedition sections and just wanted to really know what happened.


The book was a good length, and all of the action and twists and turns made sense.

I would recommend this book for a strong female-led arctic adventure!

Thanks to NetGalley for a free ARC of this fun story just when I needed some armchair travel! My opinions are m own.
