Into the Drowning Deep

I loved this book, it was extremely charming. The writing was not great. Redundant and way too long. Vacillated between relatively normal writing and overly adventurous prose. Unwieldy and no coherent style. However, the author clearly tried really hard to incorporate lots of diverse identities and give them respect - neurotypicality, deafness, queerness, sort of race, etc. I was committed to the story from early on and did not want to stop reading. I'd recommend it for its unique story and captivation value, but not if lazy editing/inconsistent writing makes you too uncomfortable to deal.
