Well that was EPIC.
It was a slow build but the slow build was very pleasant. Then the crescendo really took off in the final chapter or two and it was captivating!
The lascar language and some old English slang was a bit hard to understand at times, but I appreciate how it contributed to the world building and giving life to the characters. You get through it fine from context 95% of the time, but some early chapters with the lascar language were a bit ridiculous.
