Excitement stitched together with petulance

3 stars

It’s clear why this launched a whole genre and lies in the roots of my favorite works of naval fiction — the descriptions of life aboard ship are vivid enough to bring the taste of salt spray to one’s lips. A pity the drama between officers is so sulky and constipated.

CN for casual racism, classism, and sexism typical of the genre. Demerits to the author for using female characters as props instead of as people, irrespective of how they are treated in-world.
