Another book with a bizarre plot, but this one for slightly different reasons. Compass South is about two twins Alex and Cleo, who try to escape poverty via an add in the newspaper from a man who was looking for his long lost suns (cash reward). They collide with a second pair of twins, but both pairs are separated, each with one of the other. One drugged and made to work on a boat headed for San Francisco, and the other pair stowing away on a different boat which also was heading to San Francisco, while a pirate band chases them for the strange artifacts their father gave them.
Did I mention 1860? this book is pure 1860. The Plot is kinda all over the place, in some spots being a character driven affair and in others a high energy adventure fighting pirates and Jaguars. There is an element later in the book that was dropped out of no where, and wasn’t fully explained which confused me. But I still recommend the book because the characters are good and have compelling chemistry, and the art is good.
TL;DR: 7/10
Should you read it: yes
