There is a character that drowns by accidentally swimming deeper after diving instead of turning around.booksthatburn's review

It doesn't seem like it's specifically trying to leave something for later. Even knowing that a sequel eventually was made, this is a complete story that can be enjoyed on its own. The cast is pretty large for a novella but stays focused on a subset of named characters to make it manageable.
I like it, I just wish I'd been able to get a hold of it before reading INTO THE DROWNING DEEP, but this is harder to find copies of.

seems well thought out and I like the disabled rep, it's very casually done. it feels like a lot of named characters for such a short story, though; it can be difficult to keep up with who is who, so much so that I had to write it down. I think I would've liked for a more focused, intimate perspective from one or two people, but I get that they can't be everywhere all at once either. but that ending...whew!! time for nightmares

That doesn’t mean this isn’t a bad book, just a little disappointing for me.

The ableism is presented as being ableist and as unacceptable.
