Now truthfully I haven't read a lot of Titanic based stories, but for me this seems like a really fresh perspective to bring to the legendary ship. While this narrative stops well before the ship's terrible sinking, we get to know main character Valora a little bit, and see how creative she is in how she gets on the ship and what she's willing to do to stay there. This seems really interesting, and a much needed newer perspective on what happened on the Titanic.
