SW is my least favourite of the AR canon. Now that I have read the comments of the other contributors about this book, maybe I'll try it again. It could be all that mud and the labourious process of filling in the map that bothered me. I was also struck by the same sense of "let's pretend" that motivated the Amazons. I could willingly take part in piratical adventures, but somehow eels slithering around in mud doesn't have the same feeling as bucketing over that lake in the north. I rather get the feeling that AR was stretching just a little in this one. Tell me I have missed something, please.
