One downside: the drafting of whack. I read in the order book and I must say it has nothing brought reading. I understand the stylistic principle and the difficulty to achieve it - I actually read several documents to understand what had prompted the author to write this way - but I have not found qu'embûches reading in disorder , especially because the crew and the ship change and Villon works regularly for various forces: the beginning of each chapter I lost in the first pages, and it's a feeling that I did not appreciate. If I had read it I will read it in the order because I feel we lose information not know where we stand in history.
Finally the narrative point of view I found it inconsistent since Villon made a strict count of days and that contrary to what I read in a critical his impression that "time has no meaning" does not match the while anarchy of the chapters but the temporal intrusions into his time. Moreover, his notebooks were left whole and not by sheets huddle here and there over time (which would have given more credit to this process if it was the case).
This book remains a very good read that I highly recommend to lovers of pirate stories.
