Okay, I didn’t really get what was going on: Something about killer water horses, but not all water horses are killer, but they are in the water. On land, they’re fine. So if they’re fine on land, then what makes them water horses?

It’s not a bad novel; it just didn’t enthuse me. I was kind of bored. Didn’t help that I felt a bit lost.
