Title: Pretty dissapointing book in a GREAT series
Review: I've loved these books, reread the first 18 multiple times. This 19th book seems perfunctory, and ill-at-ease with itself.It feels very distanced to me, not immediate, not compelling as the other have been. The pacing is lumpy. The level of detail is much lower than O'Brian generally uses. Overall, it just doesn't feel like he's in control of it this time.
Is the review positive or negative?
