Starts off quite slow but gets more interesting as you get further into the story, especially once Abner and Joshua have been on the boat for a few weeks. Sometimes the descriptions of the different elements of the ships get lengthy. The ending felt weirdly rushed. Still, Martin's take on vampires is very original and interesting, and I loved the dark tone of the book.
