FAQ Rating: * (13 reviews; 9 *, 4 \*\*, 0 \*\*\*, 0 \*\*\*\*)

• A missed opportunity. The subject deserved a much better treatment.
• The seas are apparently not all that Mythic. Constant first person interludes don't add much. A few interesting spells but otherwise a rather vanilla treatment.
• A decent treatment, though dull at times.
• A book set in a distant wilderness where there are no other objects.
• Not very necessary for a storyguide.
• Utilitarian and important if you're going to be spending a lot of time in and around ships. Seems to lack focus and organization, and has an unnecessary and distracting fiction element.
• If there was a lower ranking it would get it. Very bad - avoid.
• Haven't found a use for it yet.
