In Great Waters

In Great Waters is an interesting fantastical alternate history story, where the existence of merpeople, called deepsmen, has changed European politics. The deepsmen are not the cute kind usual to children's stories, but are a territorial people who live violent, often short, lives. The detail given to developing the deepsman society and their effects on strengthened the story, though their exact role in society stretched credulity in some ways. I most enjoyed the story of the early life of the two protagonists, which showed how their environments shaped the way they saw their world. The story seemed to lose steam as it progressed, mostly because success seemed to come a bit too easily to the main characters.In Great Waters was definitely a creative and interesting story, despite my complaints, and it was fun to read such a different take on a familiar supernatural creature!
