I now recall why I hated the series so much now that I am re-reading: Stephen’s character is miserable in a way that makes his chapters dreadful to read ever since the second book, Patrick O’Brian’s greatest mistake was writing Post-Captain, and second greatest mistake was not ending the series
Jack is more enjoyable to read, and I’m forcing myself to get past this for the sake of finishing a started book

I don’t remember much of every event in the book, but the start of this one is difficult to enjoy, when Stephen is acting stupidly, I’m sure my opinion in a few chapters will change when he takes a break from his attempts at stalking Diana, but with a reminder of this all I might reconsider reading Aubrey-Maturin series entirely and focus on the first book and the film adaptation
