This is probably my least favourite book of the series so far because it starts slow and introduces a whole new world (under the sea) and lots of new characters. It was heavy on world building for the first half and I wasn???t that interested in this new city, with its politics and economy. But in the end, it was a fantastic read, the last part of the book compensates for the slow start. It was nice to follow closely Stenwold Maker and his exceptional strategic skills to avoid an unprecedented war between sea and land peoples.??
