Publisher's summary

From the murky depths of the Shining Sea rises a pre-historic menace who commands a rising tide of invasion to crash over the shores of Iakhovas has plotted for long, bitter years to regain the powers that were torn from him by an angry goddess. Now, nothing will stand in his way, and the face of Toril will never be the same again.

Oblivious to the growing danger of the undersea civilizations, the surface world is about to awaken to a new, horrifying threat from the sea.

Fantasy Pirates and Deep Sea Intrigue

The Story is broken into 3 ,main perspectives. Each feels like a different type of story, for better or worse.

Jherek, the sailor.
He is likeable enough when he isn't being moronically honest or chivalrous. I did enjoy his chapters though. He also get's a nice moment where my complaints about his personality might be addressed as an arc in the next book.

Laaqueel, the Malenti.
By far my favorite. Her narrative is focused on trying to understand the motivations and goals of the main antagonist. All while hopping between the most interesting scenes in the book.

Pacys. the bard.
His part in the book was incredibly dull and did nothing for me, I found myself upset when he'd get another chapter. I'd honestly recommend just skipping his chapters if you feel the same way. You wont miss anything important.

Good start to a series...

Fun. Good start to a series. Solid characters if a bit thin. Lister is always a great narrator.
