I was so disappointed with the Terror-- I couldn’t put it down up until near the end with Crozier and Silna and going into the details of their life together-- ewwwwww.
I was already really uncomfortable with how Silna was handled, especially because in real life, its well documented how much sexual violence native women face compared to other demographics, so having a very young girl be constantly half naked was already pretty uncomfortable, but then the end just took it to 11.
Idk, cutting the romance and sexualization of Silna’s character and aging her up was one of the best decisions they made.
It’s a shame too, because some parts of the book are so well done-- like, I had never realized how fucking awful scurvy is and what it does, or how deadly artic voyaging was. It’s clearly well researched, and there are some points that had me so stressed, but I can’t recommend it because of how much the bad outweighs the good and the damn ending.
It was when the relationship began, after Crozier woke up. It’s around the last ~150 pages of the book or so.
