A review by mjfmjfmjf
Arabella and the Battle of Venus by David D. Levine

4.0

A much more fun followup then book 1. Definitely some slowness in the middle. But the details were interesting. And luckily I know little of actual naval maneuvers that I can appreciate the writing and drama without catching any inaccuracies which might exist. It's still a re-write of the Napoleonic Wars in space-ish, not something I care much about. As well as a Victorian era novel of manners and the like, which I also don't like much. But it worked and it was a good read, even with a week-long gap reading in the middle.
