The idea of The Forever Sea being mile-high prarie grass that holds dark creatures and mysteries is quite interesting. There's magic built on song, bones and fire that is the fuel that drives the ships across the grass. Very intriguing.
But the pacing is kind of slow, and not even the gentle, beautiful prose that builds this universe can do much to fix it. I wish the same amount of energy had been poured into building the characters as well. I would've loved to dive deeper into their minds. I wanted more of the dark deep of the grass.
It's a fun, unique read (with lgbt characters) that maybe could've done with 20% less pages describing the grass and the singing.
