I honestly was afraid I wouldn't be able to understand and like that story based on the navy, but turns out it was amazing and I devored the book!
I didn't understood all the specific naval and navigation terms, but you honestly don't need to know and understand everything to understand the story on its own and what's happening, so don't worry about that.
I was really hooked by the story, by that Ulysse chase, it was captivating.
There's a subtility giving in the emotional description of the characters, especially Hiram's, and it was amazing : there's not a lot of description, not a lot of emotions, yet you can totally feel what Hiram feels from what you get. I was really attached to him, to them all. The romance, also very subtle and very slow burn, was put aside as a very subplot yet it was still really important for the story itself - so it was amazing.
I'm diving in to read the next book!
PS: I have a feeling Hiram is asexual??? It sounds very much like it from the description. It has never been said obviously as it wasnt well understood by then, but I'm glad it give a little hint of asexuality, and even aroace character (you'll understand with the last chapters).
