I get why people probably love it, but it just wasn’t my bag. I think the audiobook narrator is 10/10 and the writing itself is pretty good, but it didn’t change for me my general disinterest in sea stories. I know why it has to be written from an objective point of view (when recounting history), but it felt somewhere in between the longest research paper I’ve ever read and the never ending text crawl at the beginning of the Star Wars films.
