There’s some progress, but nothing feels quite enough to dedicate a book to. I mean, we skip over the winter months, that are presumably full of meaningless skirmishes and marching … and then the book basically is about a meaningless battle and a lot of marching (again). So what actually made the part that was told in the novel more important than what was skipped over?
Not that it didn’t have opportunities, like what our protagonist decides to do with the tribals. But she just does it and then it’s never mentioned again, not even after the battle. Or the situation with Tulla, who just goes “well, I don’t care anymore then” and that’s it then. And so on. Everything stays so oddly lackluster.

Yep. Started to read it. After chapter 10 or so I skipped to the last chapter, saw that nothing changed, read the epilogue and deleted the book.
When can I have next Admiral book?

Mh, yeah, didn’t quite convince me either.
