Crichton switches genre fairly well but the depth of situational awareness for the swashbuckling epoch is thin. This is not I repeat not a Patrick OBrian super detailed novel providing all the historical background you may be used to.

It’s still a fun ride but more on the level of a made-for-tv movie.

If you expect less, you’ll enjoy more.

Good enough but cliche. 🧐

Narrator did a fine job, don’t wanna drag him. But the story starts with a teenaged girl whose whole personality is enjoying older men take advantage of her… does not add to the story, just a creepy fantasy written in. Hugely problematic historical stereotypes and racist tropes. If it was a really thrilling story I would be like “at least it’s a good main story or suspense or whatever” it’s not. It’s slow, then pushes past the interesting parts. Minimal character building, not very good world building after the first chapter. I read Jurassic Park and thought it would have a similar quality of writing. It did not. READ SOMETHING ELSE!!!

Dated, problematic, don’t read.

Usually Crichton’s stuff is well done but this one really is wannabe swash buckling, with added of casual murder.
