Verne has never heard to show not tell. He thinks they’re two separate things. Tell then show.

Also, I’m starting to have to skip through half a page long lists of ocean terminology that benefit the story in almost no way. The whole bony vs cartilaginous fish thing was so unnecessary, if they were just trying to show of councils skills they could have done that with one dialogue line.

Immersive and gripping storytelling, excellent pacing, vivid descriptions.
