Now I get it. The root of Tom's power is finally explained, and in a fashion that doesn't explain all the mysteries in the story.
Tommy Taylor learns about archetypes.
This one underwhelmed me; didn't feel as interesting or as expansive as the other books in the series.
Still, it got me interested in reading Moby Dick, something that no other pop culture reference to Moby Dick has ever managed. So there's that.
