Entertaining for the start, this book ends up crowding a lot of characters in to tidy loose ends, and then finishes with a rather hurried happy conclusion that glosses over some actions that I think would have to have at least more of an emotional consequence, even if the seafolk can clean up the physical evidence.

I get it's a comedy instead of a drama, but comedy's always better with a bit of balance. The finish ends up falling flat for me. In an attempt to avoid a major spoiler I can't say what that was, but it will likely be obvious to anyone who's read it. Not a horrible book, but I'm glad I got it on swap rather than paid full shot.
