I mean this in the nicest way possible but I’m dumbfounded that the author found a way to write all of this subterfuge and intrigue as boring as possible. I understand this is a historically retelling but embellish! Add some life! Don’t write “and thats when the mutiny plotting started” thats so boring ):

This book is so far really good. Definitely 100% completely and totally killed any and all desire in me to be a 1700’s sailor tho. People really just sent 2,000 men on a 7 month voyage and fully expected 60% of the to die horrible deaths for no pay and that was just…the norm. I will stay on dry land thank you very much!
