20 June 2007 | Publication | Received positively, with praise for the expansion of the world beyond Camorr and the pleasures of the nautical setting. Some critics felt the plotting was less tightly controlled than the debut, while others praised the ambition of the new setting and the continued development of Locke and Jean's relationship. Commercially strong within the established readership, though the series' reputation rests primarily on the first novel. |
