Storm of Sharks

The concept feels so imaginative and fun, but I'm curious whether this idea came from a specific myth or just a burst of creativity. How did the author decide on this unique twist?

While I loved the world-building, some parts felt a little slower than the rest. Was that intentional to develop the characters or plot?

The story has some really funny moments alongside the tense scenes. I'm wondering how they approached keeping it light but exciting at the same time.
