The writing wasn't great but it was very readable and enjoyable - I finished it in one day. I wish the background characters had been as fleshed out as Isla, even Blue seemed a bit underdeveloped. It was thoroughly researched and I enjoyed the threads of reuse/blending of the physical environment and mythology by the characters. The hook was great, it was just a bit lacking in realisation.
