3.0

This read certainly starts off slow, and the main character is a bit of a knob, but the book really picks up at the end and becomes a lovely adventure story. The perspective is that of the main character, a Catholic Englishman with a heavily xenophobic view of the world, but the pirates more than make up for his horrible opinions and help him grow into a sympathetic character. I would recommend this book for anyone who wants to get lost in a history-informed adventure.
