A review by madswag27
The Ionian Mission by Patrick O'Brian

Not the most exciting episode thus far... between the boredom in the French blockade and the 'Ionian' diplomatic mission not really getting off until 3/4 of the way through, I've gotta admit the real heights of drama for me were: gumbrils; the poetry contests; "oh dear no one cut up the sails to make costumes please"; and Stephen's ill-timed swim. And Stephen seeing some spotted eagles. Oh and bby Calamy! <3
