Two nations at war. One prize beyond compare.

A really good book with my only issue beeing that it took me a bit to get invested. The prose is lush, sophisticated and evokes the atmosphere of high seas adventure. This isn't exactly a character focused book, however the crew still consists of interesting and well fleshed out characters, getting a few emotional moments out of them. I also liked how interesting and unintrusive the world building was. It made it a more modern version of a classical seafaring novel.
