Good comments Neil. Kathrina's adept skill in crafting imagery—such as "the boat is a liquid light whip of darkness, across water too smooth to trust"—immerses readers in the ambience of Brunei's landscapes and waterways, enabling them to tangibly experience the characters' emotions. As the narrative unfurls, it becomes evident that "The Fisherman King" plunges into themes that transcend temporal and cultural boundaries. The tale unfurls as Lisan returns to the village he once knew, now altered beyond recognition due to his protracted absence. Horizon Saudi Arabia.
