Listened to this on audiobook as I feel asleep at night. A story with great imagery and sort of relaxing feel of older fantasy. Really exciting world building, very pro-boat book. Lots of boats, that is. Not a super interesting magic system, as regards the magic in the book. Very interesting boats interacting with magic system. A good and serviceable hero's journey, complete with a deep reckoning with ego and such.
