I’m always happy if a book is entertaining and educational at the same time - I don’t expect this from fiction as much as from non-fiction, but learning about worlds I only visited on paper always feels like a double win.

If I'm unable to make sense of a term I'd just look it up real quick. No real issues learning new words, you know?

Actually I agree with this. Any book dealing with "niche" subject matter should probably implement some sort of footnote/glossary system of important and commonly-used vocabulary in relation to the subject. It keeps the reader from having to continuously interrupt their reading by looking up the words on their own, or from having to wait until they have an opportunity to do so should they be away from their phone/computer.Adedayo+23 wrote: ↑20 May 2019, 03:40 Although ignorance of the nautical terms didn't detract from the story for me, a footnote would have been appreciated. The terms went right over my head.
