word you’d apply to fantasy novels, rushes along at a pace to match the waterway at its heart. The decaying city, its hydraulics slowly corroding and its houses crumbling, should be grim, almost Gormenghastly, yet the colourful cast of characters brightens it up. Central figures Briony and Sam Locke, daughter and son of a particularly faded noble lineage living in an especially crumbling house, stumble into a succession of improbable adventures accompanied by assorted footmen and maids, pressganged soldiers, itinerant actors and more.
