What a fantastically fun read. This author knows language, but more importantly, takes great joy in using it. It's one thing to possess a toy, it's another thing to know how to properly use it. ;)The descriptions of actions and surroundings have just the right amount of detail. It's easy to see and feel where you are no matter what's happening, and sometimes the happenings are moving quickly.I'm tempted to mention the writing style and structure of the story but they are essential parts of the experience that you should get to discover on your own. I felt like I was riding along the waves of emotion and action both.I felt like I was... dare I say... waltzing through this story? Such a clever, clever way to speak of love, freedom, change, things unchanged, wasted time, seizing life and galloping off with it... so well done.This is a definite re-read for me. For those times when you may not have a lot of time but want to be completely sucked into another time (that's three, and I'm leaving them all in LOL) with two well crafted main characters, these naval men, this will fit the bill. The more I think about it, the more scenes keep popping back into my brain, the more I like it. I wasn't sure that was possible before I set out to write this review, but apparently that's the case.Now go have some fun riding the high seas and hidden lagoons. ;)
