Personally, I find one of the most important traits of this book to be how the author has incorporated many archetypal, classic characters without 'butchering' their characteristics or sense of style that has made many of them influential and heard of by many readers out there; some of the different recognizable names that I can remember off the top of my head include King Arthur, Hercules, and even Davy Jones, and they're all pulled off in the story near perfectly.
