The Vanishing Deep was kinda ok. I liked the reef based and underwater, futuristic life in the Equinox, was intrigued by the concept of reviving those who have drowned for 24 hours in Palindromena, and the travelling between places. The dramatic time countdown throughout the book also motivated me to keep going. However, while I was hyped up by the setting and premise, I was very underwhelmed by the ending, would have preferred something different. The pacing between the first and second half of the book also felt off for me.
