A review by casparquarius
From Below by Darcy Coates
mysterious
tense
medium-paced
3.5
I liked it fine. the pacing felt rough - it would swap between two time periods and the switch almost always felt like it killed any tension the narrative had managed to build, rather than helping to create it. honestly felt like it would be better served by being a movie? I loved the visuals, and there were some good characters, and I really liked the bits from before the ship sank, but the writing and construction of the story needed work to be super effective.
drowning, and the risk of drowning, is a major feature in the book
