This book was a mixed bag for me. The characters were well-crafted and the storyline was woven together nicely. I struggled to get through some portions of the plot, especially when the main character was at sea, due to the immense detail the author provided regarding sailing technique. As far as the overall plot, it was well-done even if the ending left us with a main character who is more villain than hero. Truthfully, it was the only ending that works based on the companion novel and the rest of this particular story.

For the right reader - someone with a strong interest in the technical aspects of sailing for example - this would probably be a five star read. I would definitely read more by this author due to the fact that he creates believable characters and spends the time to develop complex relationships between them.
