The premise of Deep as the Sky, Red as the Sea was quite enjoyable, and the overall plot structure was strong. However, the writing style really focused on telling, rather than showing. The book would have benefited from being much more deeply fleshed out - I would have loved a series of books more slowly and richly covering the same plot. At times, the book felt like readint a summary of a really engaging story.
