This story was really disjointed. Whereas I felt that the last had some tension and a time limit, this did not. Anything that hinted at time running out for them seemed like it was only used to make the story weirder and less comprehensible. The only thing that did make sense were the characters' backstories. But though this eliminated a few of the suspects in Hari's murder, I kept forgetting that that was even what this book was supposed to be about. I still intend to read the next, since they are so short, I just didn't feel like this one was necessary for the story line.

It stays strong through this volume, but the background stories for each character feel a little ham-handed since the plot is essentially paused to keep re-hashing the past. I would appreciate if chapters rotated between looking back and forward rather than going for an entire volume of looking back.

Another great volume from Kindt. The story has really captured my attention and while I wish we had developed a bit further into the story itself, all the background information was good and helpful, though a bit repetitive at times.

I wish there had been a one page "previously on" feature here; it'd been months since I read the last volume and I had trouble keeping the characters straight. By halfway through I was back in the swing, though, and I am reminded that the bottom of the ocean is a VERY SCARY PLACE. It's a great story.

Aha! Finally, we are getting somewhere. It's still not clear who killed Mia's father, but more and more elements of the story are falling into place.. I have high hopes that the fourth volume will wrap things up in a satisfying way.

More backstories: Jerome's, Lily and Q's, and Mia's romance. It turns out that most of the action in this series takes place in the past, while the current characters are trapped underwater in a conundrum of not being allowed to surface due to quarantine restrictions and running out of power and air below surface. Very cool Mia memory melange redeems this volume from exposition overload with my favorite chapter so far.

Kindt ratchets up the Hitchcock-ian tension in this volume while continuing to reference Cold War era TV, film, and comics. Where so many other creators would play this premise for easy drama and cheap thrills, Kindt always opts instead for the much harder, more human route of uneasy affection, tense joy, and ambiguous payoffs.
