A review by armchair_vibes
The Ionian Mission by Patrick O'Brian

adventurous slow-paced

3.0

So far the dullest in the series. An explosive finale could not save this boring entry into an otherwise excellent series. Unfortunately the nature of the story makes this a frustratingly slow read. As Jack and Stephen are part of a line of ships blockading the french and the french dont want to fight. There are some side quests of a political nature but nothing meaty. Even O'Brians addictive prose couldnt win me over in this one. A real slog.
