Book Review: An Amazing Guide to the Aubrey/Maturin Series
Summary: 5 Stars
I just loved this companion to the Aubrey/Maturin series. I loved the quick and informative discussions of winds and currents and ships and the historical context. Nothing to do with ships and sails is familiar to me. I love the series for its human historicity and Patrick O'Brian's prose, among the most graceful ever written. While reading the first few books, I went back time and again to figure out which sails went where and lees from larboards. I take the point of some reviewers that they could have done with a few more maps and a bit more historical and technical material instead of the plot summaries, but I disagree. Because I chose not to rush through the series in a couple of months, but instead read them slowly over several years, I enjoyed going back and reading through the summaries before I began each installment. "Harbors and High Seas" added immeasurably to my enjoyment of the Aubrey/Maturin series. Bravo to Dean King for the research and the passion that he clearly has for the novels.
