The Mountain in the Sea by Ray Nayler

3.0

I found the core conceit fascinating: intelligent octopuses! The little group researching them I also loved. But there were subplots (Rustem and the ship) that I didn't need to be here at all, and I'm not sure why they were. They just add bloat and if you cut them entirely there wouldn't be a lose to the narrative. Hence the 3 star rating.
