When choosing a fictional book set during the Napoleonic Wars, most readers expect thrilling tales of naval officers engaged in intense battles against their enemies. However, I was disappointed to find that this particular book included lengthy and tedious passages about romantic relationships with refined women on land. It felt more like a Jane Austen novel than a successor to C.S. Forester's works. As I reached the halfway point of the book, when Dr. Maturin once again found himself at the ladies' house, I made the decision to stop wasting my time and put it down for good.
