- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5There is no other way to say it: this series is devouring of all that happens around the listener. We sail with our heroes; we laugh and cry and agonize. The performance is a mastery of vocal wonder. Now on to the next book!
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Good story, outstanding insights into the art and skills of maintaining and sailing wooden warships.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5In “Seaflower”, Julian Stockwin’s third novel featuring the 19th century nautical adventures of Thomas Kydd, Mr. Stockwin changes course from epic adventure to a series of smaller escapades. Each of these yarns involve placing Kydd within differing -sometimes out of the comfort zone- albeit apropos locations and for a 19th century mariner. Mr. Stockwin does well with the changes of scenery and the descriptions of life in the Caribbean during that time period. However, some of the gleam was lost and this novel does not rate as well as Mr. Stockwin’s previous two. Yet that does not mean this novel wasn’t filled with seafaring action and adventure, it’s just the book felt more like ballast that actual cargo.
