The precursor to this book, The Waters Rising, was ultimately disappointing but did contain some decent scenes. Fish Tails, however, began meandering from the start, with much slow build-up to (I presume) a dramatic denouement which I could not be bothered to read all the way through the book to discover. I used to love Tepper's books, but she seems to have lost her deftness of touch in engaging the reader through suspenseful pacing and likable characters. I could not have cared in the least if Abasio, Xulai, and their aquatic children were torn apart by wolves.
