It took me a little bit to settle into this one but once I did I had a good time. I enjoyed the world it inhabits and the characters, i really enjoyed the story’s mix of science fiction, fantasy horror, and high seas adventure. I found the writing style to be a little weaker in some spots particularly towards the beginning but the story carried it through just fine and it made for an enjoyable experience.

A batshit crazy yarn of a novel, I’m kinda in awe. There’s only so much you can cram into 400 pages yet Dylan James Quarles manages to do it and make it look effortless. Pieces of a time puzzle fit together in such a way I kept going “Damn!” This book is a swirling mass of 80’s adventure homage, period piece, and cosmic body horror—and it’s all so freakin’ fun. This was an absolute gem and I feel really lucky to have found it in that little bookshop in Port Townsend.
