Armada by Robert Carter

zitongren's review

2.0

Armada is a historical novel, that is overall quite well written and fleshed out. It has true historical figures such as Sir Francis Drake and their achievements. The pacing of the book is a bit odd at times and the ending felt far too rushed with it ending quickly after what was a short summary of the events after the defeat of the Armada. For much of the book, it is very draggy and despite the time passing, years at a time which is strange enough and messes horribly with the pacing. Not a bad book, but it has bad pacing and mediocre characters and writing. You want a good historical novel, go read something like Pillars of the Earth. 6/10.
