Great listen, gripping tale.
A good tale, accurate and interesting sailing. As an avid O’Brien fan I am looking forward to the rest of the series.

Author has passed away leaving story unfinished
Author has sadly passed away leaving the story unfinished. Have been listening for over a year. While this is sad, I would have not committed the time or money into this story

Becalmed!
It's hard to assess this book. I knew it would be well read as I've previously bought a couple of Kate Ellis audiobooks and enjoyed Peter Wickham's narration. By The Mast Divided is clearly well researched with painstaking attention to detail. The problem I found is that the descriptions of activities and the development of the characters are done so thoroughly that it takes most of the pace out of the story. Almost all of part one - just over seven hours of listening - is over and all we've done is get the main characters pressed into naval service and leaving English shores. I feel a bit of a misery criticising the book because the quality of the writing is very good. However, I found myself 'tuning out' for a few minutes, then paying attention again and finding I hadn't missed much! On the basis of this, I much prefer Bernard Cornwell to David Donachie when we're fighting the French and the officer classes!
