Look. All this book had to do was deliver a mostly harmless, fun adventure and it would have been an easy 2.5-3.0 stars. It is instead an aggressively unfun slog. Whenever the story starts to pick up the pace and gets going, it then grinds to a halt with Watson going on for pages and pages about he's so concerned for his wife and son or some other inane, unrelated tangent. There were some creepy bits with Dagon cultists, but even they went on for far too long. This book is four hundred pages long and they all feel like a chore.
