Critic Reviews (2)

“Adams gets bogged down in a) maudlin scenes of mourning that do nothing to advance the action and b) a laundry list of metaphors (swimming/drowning, the slave trade, a mythical sea witch) designed to illustrate her theme. Meanwhile, she leaves her characters starved of specificity.”
