Review: Interesting set-up
Rating: 3 out of 5

The set-up of this book intrigued me:  Strange undersea artifacts, unexplained maritime phenomena, scientists and ship captains as main characters.  The book continued to be very imaginative, but it turned more Tolkienesque and lost some of its beginning uniqueness.Comma issues made for confusion here and there, but otherwise the work was well edited and nearly free of errors, with some very nicely written passages.I really cared about Gemma, Dirck, Aarte, and Irina, whose personalities and desires were very clear to me, and whose happiness I wanted to see, but some of the many other characters blurred together.I enjoyed the creative descriptions and explanations of vampires and rangers.The ending was very well structured and satisfying.  If you like action scenes and epic fantasy, try this book.Warning:  explicit adult situations.*I was given a free copy in exchange for an honest review*
