A review by harryr
Rookie Privateer by Jamie McFarlane
2.0
I picked this up because it was free and the serious literary novel I’m theoretically reading is really hard work.
This at least was not hard work: the story and world-building are pretty engaging. Unfortunately the prose, characterisation and dialogue are all workmanlike at best. In fact, I nearly gave up after the first few pages, but in the end it passed the time pleasantly enough. It just could have done with pass by a fairly ruthless editor.
