Ondine Quartet #2
Billow
An Impossible War. An Explosive Magic. An Inescapable Destiny.
- The world of water elementals -
It has been six months since ondine Kendra Irisavie arrived in Haverleau, the hidden capital of the water elemental world.
Six months since she discovered her destiny as the sondaleur and a series of devastating events left behind their mark.
Now, as she enters the chevalier elite program in her final year at Lumiere Academy, Kendra continues forward on her prophesied journey against the Shadow. Obsessed with what she must do to keep those around her safe, she struggles to balance her powerful magic and the demands of her fate with the challenges of friendship, the complications of romance, and the bonds of family.
Meanwhile, the threat of the Shadow looms larger. Kendra and her friends investigate a series of puzzling human and elemental disappearances in the city of Lyondale and uncover a horrifying tactic used by the Aquidae in the war.
When danger strikes close to home, Kendra must separate the truths from the lies and choose who and what to believe.
Even if it means facing what she fears the most.

OMG! This book was immense definitely worth the long wait!
This book was just as good as the first and held its own! I was not disappointed one bit!
Really liked the twist with Ian- I SO did not see that coming.
I am falling hard for Julian he's always there and his power just adds to his appeal.
Tristan pissed me off at first but at the end he redeemed himself.
I'm glad she chose Leveq to go with her at the end! This should be interesting.
And above it all I hope Marcella obtains a miracle pulls through and becomes Governer. She'd be good at the position,
I love Nexa and Jeeves their quite amusing and find their roles and characters very entertaining.
I'm glad Kendra finally managed to find herself at the end.
This book did not disappoint and was so fast paced and action packed I was not bored for one second. I could not put this down.
Can't wait to see what happens!

There is so much to love about this book.
Billow has been on my wish list for a while ever since I finished reading Whirl the first book in Ondine Quartet Series which caught my eye on Goodreads. And I am not disappointed, great work Emma ! Can't wait to read Crest.

I loved this book. The writing has leaped and matured great strides from the first book. There's a command to Raveling's words here, and moments of such sincerity and fragility, it took my breath away. I relished the moments, though scant, between Tristan and Kendra. Their conversations are beautiful, provoking and tender.
"So maybe you're looking at it wrong. Maybe the phrase doesn't mean beautiful war."
My mind traced the contours of his features. Heard the music he gave me, the words he'd said.
I shoved my hands deep into my pockets to keep from touching him.
"Maybe it means beauty in war." I cleared my throat and met his gaze. "Maybe it means hope."
His mouth parted and for a long moment, Tristan looked shocked.
I found myself growing to admire and like Kendra in this book. In the first book, I found her strangely unaffected by her mom's death, and immature. While this book takes place only 6 months past the events of Whirl, Kendra, along with Raveling's prose, has matured a great deal- she's still hugely imperfect, rash and flawed, but now the writing allows us to witness and share her pain with her. There are also brief moments of wit- sharp, hilarious and punctuating.
I found a great sense of method to Billow; each part crafted and put together, each scene and moment served an important purpose. The world-building is done in greater detail in this novel, with the elements of magic far more intricately explored than in the first book. Here, we are exposed to not only the underwater creatures, but the many layers of magic. We join Kendra as she discovers and explores her powers. And, in stark contrast to the first book, Raveling is able to seamlessly info-dump without it appearing forced- she goes even further to twist and provoke and turn the information into a mass of questions and layers. It's a skill.
This series is quickly becoming a favorite and I can not wait for the next installment.

Review:
I enjoyed the first book in this series. It had slightly different subject matter, dealing with Water elementals, than other YA books around at the moment, and I could easily relate to the characters in my mind – which is something I feel is pretty important. However, I had a few small niggles with that one – mainly Kendra’s immaturity and attitudes, as well as the seemingly massive imbalance of power between the Ondine and the Aquidae.
This book totally blew that out of the water.
This was definitely a case where the sequel takes everything that’s good about the first book, and leaves all the rubbish behind. I enjoyed Billow so much more than I enjoyed Whirl, and it’s left me hungry for what’s next for Kendra and co.
In this book, Kendra is beginning to really understand what it means to be the Sondaleur – the savior of the Ondine in their ongoing war with the Aquidae. She’s finally getting that she means a lot of things to a lot of people, and that it can’t just be about her and her personal conflicts anymore.
Tristan was still the hot guy in this, though I kind of felt like I wanted Kendra to give Julian more of a chance – and that’s coming from someone who dislikes love triangles! I liked the low simmer between Kendra and Tristan, however, and felt that it worked with the story rather than the love aspect overpowering everything else as sometimes happens in books.
Overall, this was much better, in my opinion, than the first book, and I’d really recommend this series to anyone who feels they’re getting bored with the normal YA subject matter.
Overall rating: 4.5/5
Writing: 4/5
Originality: 5/5
Characters: 4.5/5
My Enjoyment: 4.5/5

Whirl (Ondine Quartet #1), with its wonderful world-building, engaging characters and superb storytelling, was one of my favorite reads last year, so I was super excited to dive into the sequel, Billow. And I’m happy to report that the sequel does not disappoint in any way.
Picking up six months after the end of the first book, Billow finds Kendra struggling to understand the role she must play as sondaleur, while dealing with the emotional and mental trauma of the devastating events in Whirl. Kendra must balance her chevalier training, fragile relationships and familial duties, all while an internal war wages within her. And when a rash of mysterious human and elemental kidnappings occur, Kendra and her friends find themselves battling dangerous Aquidae , as the Shadow looms ever closer. Kendra must choose her path and decide what being sondaleur really means.
I loved Whirl because of author Emma Raveling’s ability to create an immensely layered and dimensional elemental world, full of engaging and likable characters, while offering readers a captivating and exciting story; all of which is deftly and effectively carried over into Billow. As a sequel, Billow seamlessly expands the story introduced in book one, while introducing new characters; new dangers and plenty of twists and turns.
Perfectly paced, Billow flows effortlessly and captivated me from beginning to end. There’s a lovely and eloquent beauty to Raveling’s writing and she creates incredibly stunning images and palpable emotions with her words, yet her writing and descriptions never feel over the top or flowery. The world-building I loved so much in Whirl is laid out even further and deeper in Billow and the political/cultural/societal world of the ondines continues to be intricate, complex and intriguing. I’m still so impressed with how complete and real this world feels!
Our heroine, Kendra, faces a very intense and raw emotional journey in Billow and I love how realistically she reacts to her situation. Kendra is far from perfect- she has a temper, she can be reckless and acts without thinking and is reluctant to ask for help, preferring to do things on her own- but this is what makes her and her story so relatable and easy to connect with. Kendra grows a great deal in this book, both as a leader and as a fighter, and her character growth never feels forced. This is a heroine that readers will not only relate to and love, but believe in.
Two of my favorite characters from the first book, Julian and Tristan, continue to enthrall, enrage and excite me! Now, I’m not a fan of love triangles, but the complicated and often hot relationships between Kendra and these two guys never feels like a love triangle. You can feel the layered and tangible connection Kendra has to both of these swoon-worthy guys because Raveling has crafted them so wonderfully. And at this point I have no idea who I’m rooting for…I just lurve them both so much *sigh*
The darker elemental powers and magic are explored more in-depth in Billow and this leads to some heart-pounding action and heart-breaking events. I really like the villainy of the Shadow and its Aquidaes because these are “bad guys” that aren’t just fun to hate, they’re actually incredibly fascinating.
I love everything about how the book concludes- the tone, the twists and how it sets up book three. And I CANNOT wait to read book three!
MY FINAL THOUGHTS: Billow took me on an exciting journey deeper into the complex and riveting ondine world that Raveling introduced in book one . With heart-racing suspense, excellent and believable character development, enticing romance and exquisite storytelling, this is a must read sequel in a must read series!

Read my full review on: Paromantasy
Billow in one sentence: An action-packed, emotional rollercoaster ride of a read that will grip you from the very beginning and leave you begging for more.
It is official – this is one of my favorite urban fantasy series of all-time. When I say it is unputdownable - I mean it and the bags under my eyes can prove it. This installment of the Ondine Quartet series took everything I loved from Whirl and amplified it. It has been six months since the last time we saw them, yet all that happened still haunts the characters.
Kendra was thrust into a situation that has left her confused and isolated, even when there are plenty of people around her that want to help. She lost her mother, learned that she is not only an Ondine (a water elemental) but also the Sondaleur - the prophesized savior of her race, and faced the evil that is Aquidae.
With being the responsibility of being the Sondeleur comes the feeling that the world is on her shoulders. The nightmares of all of the people she has lost and could lose if she doesn’t put an end to the Shadow, leader of the evil Aquidae, haunts her. She lost her mom, and her good friend Ryder: how many more will she lose before the war is over? This fear turns to obsession and the darkness seems to be closing in on her. Then the man she thought she’d never see again Tristan, the Selkie Prince, walks back into her life and makes things more complicated. WIll she ever find her path?
With her world spinning out of control, she must learn how to keep the darkness at bay while she battles the Aquidae and tries to take down the Shadow. With her entire race and the people she lovesmost hanging in the balance, will she be able to defeat the Aquidae and put an end to the war, or will the Shadow just continue to take away the people she holds dear until she is left with nothing?
This book is phenomenal! Along with the action, danger, mystery and bits of romance is pain, loss and self-discovery as the characters grow and learn with each situation they face. The layers are slowly peeled back revealing the inner most desires, fears and insecurities of our beloved characters.
Kendra is only 17, but she is a heroine to be reckoned with. She is fierce, dedicated and loyal to her friends. Behind her tough facade is a girl who feels lost and confused. She is a character we can relate to and empathize with. She is thrust with the responsibility of being the Sondaleur, and is also in love with someone she cannot have - not because she is not allowed, but because doing so would be the end of her mortality. That is an obstacle that is unique in that it is not forbidden love, but one which is physically impossible. I do hope Emma Raveling has a plan for Kendra and Tristan because they both deserve happiness.
Of course if that does not work out, there is always Julian. I love Julian. He is sarcastic, strong and smart, but has an underlying sweetness. As much as I love Tristan, I can’t help but hope that Kendra will at least give Julian a shot. The fact that he is much more involved and fleshed out in this book put a smile on my face. His appearance always guarantees a good time as he and Kendra banter away.
Along with our favorite threesome are Kendra’s friends and the introduction of a few new charaters who are also going through hard times. They are each so unique and strong in their own way. They are a great group of characters and I guarantte you will find yourself thinking of them as your friends.
All I can say is: Read This Book!! You will not regret it.

I really liked Billow! It's such a great sequel to Whirl, and I just love this world.
As far as paranormal books go, this series is definitely different. I love that it focuses on elementals- and water ones, which is really cool to me! I liked seeing Kendra finally accept and make peace with being the sondaleur (or at least, make some good progress with accepting it) and she really struggled with everything that's happened so far.
I thought she was still a bit too independent and willing to run off into danger by herself, but I liked that she finally started to realize that she needed help from others. I really don't blame her for being hellbent on revenge, with everything going on, and surprisingly, it wasn't as irritating or annoying as I was expecting. I think it's because she finally realized that she needed help, and couldn't do it on her own. She did struggle, and that made her feel much more real to me than she did in Whirl, so it's nice to see that change in her.
There were times when I was trying not to cry, because it's a much more emotional book than I was expecting. All of the characters had to go through so much and I feel like I understand them so much better after reading Billow. I felt like there's so much more to the characters than we see, and it was particularly noticeable with Tristan and Julian- but with Julian especially. There were quite a few things that surprised me with Julian, but also with some of the other characters too, so I'm glad that they really came to life in Billow.
As for the romance, I think Julian is slowly edging out Tristan. Mostly because Tristan is a selkie prince, and I have no clue how that would work out for both of them. I do think Tristan understands what Kendra is going through, to a certain extent, but after this book, I think Kendra and Julian are a much better fit for each other.
Oh, and we get our first true glimpse of the Shadow! I'm nervous for Kendra, but I want her to take down the Shadow so very much. And I'd actually love to see the other elemental communities! You hear about them, so I'm hoping I'm not disappointed when we get to visit them in the next book.
Let's Rate It: I'm really looking forward to reading Crest, the next book in the series! Billow is a great sequel (much better than a lot of sequels/second books) and I'm really looking forward to seeing Kendra's journey continue. Billow gets 4 stars.

I dived into Billow as soon as I finished Whirl because, well after that ending who wouldn't? I was dying to know what would happen next to Kendra and the gang and of course, I was hoping and praying for more Tristan time.....sigh....I do love him!
Anyway, author Emma Raveling did a fantastic job with this fantastic sequel. In Billow we see the strong and independent Kendra struggle. After the loss of a friend, she's mourning but to everyone else, she's trying to keep her head above water. She throws herself into trouble to try and forget her pain and not only that, she's trying to forget about the one man that seems to have touched her heart - the problem is, she can never have him. Things are already looking glum for Kendra, but when the evil Aquidae start kidnapping children and adults, Kendra knows she needs to try and put a stop to this and soon her journey begins......
This book was little bit more emotional for me because of the journey Kendra took. It was pretty clear of how much she was struggling to deal with her feelings and I just wanted someone to come along and make everything better for her. And I wanted that someone to be TRISTAN! I'm telling you, the author really does like to keep us readers in suspense when it comes to their relationship and it's killing me. But I do love it. They have beautiful and intense moments together and you can really see how strong they would be together as a couple. However, they obstacles they have to get through and worse than ever. The author throws a huge twist in the end making us believe there is no hope for them....but I have faith.....they belong together so I'm sure she will make this work for them...somehow.
The storyline was exhilarating, suspenseful and thrilling. There's so many engaging scenes too that leave you sitting on the edge of you're seat and by the end of this book, your'll only be wanting more! I for one, can not wait to read more by this talented author and I am eagerly awaiting news on Crest - book three in the series's release date.

Billow is a wonderful sequel to Whirl. Stakes are raised and everything changes in this novel.
Kendra begins to realize the weight she actually carries and how much sway she has on the future of not only her friends and loved ones but also for her entire race and community. We get more hints of how her destiny fits in with the more powerful beings that oversea this world. It is fascinating to see how she reacts to each of these realizations and highlights her strength, spirit, and stubbornness.
And to balance that out, of course, is Tristan. In a slightly different role in the novel, his place as kindred spirit and confidante established, their relationship in Billow is more mature but no less tortured. They are first and foremost a comfort to one another and I can't express how happy that makes me, shipping aside.
While the world-building continues to be spectacular in Billow, I think the second highest point in this piece are the secondary characters. Aubrey, Ian, Cam, Julian - they all only add to this amazing world and character. Jordain, the powerful figure in charge of the Ondines, also makes significant appearances in Billow, adding not only to Kendra's burden but also to the overall lore in Raveling's world.
I couldn't wait to read Billow after Whirl and I wasn't disappointed. It wasn't what I was expecting but it was exactly what was needed, I think, before the epicness that is Crest. A great read and sequel.

Once again I was swept away with the world Raveling has built for her characters. Kendra has grown up some since the last book and then again displays the trauma she has faced in some not so healthy ways. Along the ride are what remains of her core group of elemental friends. The sexy and roguish Julian is back to stir up trouble and of course, we can't forget the perfect and almost godlike Tristan waiting in the background. So many events take place in this novel that I was not expecting, some truly heart wrenching moments. Clearly the reader is going to be growing up alongside the Sondaleur. And if the excitement and action have amped up to such a level in only two books, I can only imagine what the next installment will bring us. Meantime I'll tide over with Raveling's novella and vignette series. Finally we'll get some insight into Kendra's mysterious love interests. Stay tuned. This is definitely a series you don't want to miss.

2022:
I really enjoyed rereading this book. I saw different things in the characters this time around. The last time I read this book I don't think I really saw the struggles Kendra were going thru and how much they affected her personality and character. And I also didn't reflect on how young she is. She is like 17/18. And although Kendra is difficult to like in this book I must say that that problably is the point and that the author did a really good job to convey all those feelings Kendra were feeling thru the pages.
As always: this series does not dissapoint :)
2019:
Really liked this book too. Have to say that I liked the first one a bit more. I thought Kendra was really annoying, she really has no self preservation. But at the same time you can really see how her character develops and grows. I'm a bit torn on who I want her to end up with, I'm leaning towards Tristan just because he's so kind.

Okay, Kendra is a little bit stupid and sometimes annoying (you know? the whole "i'm a sandaleur and my life is nothing but i have to sacrifice myself" "i'm guilty for ryder's death, my mother's death, tristan's horrible life, julian's pain, and blah blah blah") but i have a guilty (but not so much) pleasure for these books.
And the end. THE FREAKIN' END. I need the third book like now. What will happen?. I don't freakin' know, but i need to.
Oh and Emma Raveling every two weeks is posting on her blog a chapter of Whirl by Tristan's POV, and hell i love it so much.

Kendra has been training to enter the elite chèvrelier. Tristan has been gone to the selkie kimgdom. She has also gotten fair at fending off her trainer Julian who annoyingly growing on her while showing a side of himself she's not comfortable with dealing with.
Her friends play a huge role in a lot of her realizations in this installment and although he get a couple of "Ahh" moments there is a lot of fighting, sneaking around and learning that value does not equal worth.
The ending will leave you questioning what's to come and sad that it will be a while before the next installment arrives.

Kendra Irisavie is now my favorite heroine in YA.
Fantastic characters and world building. And the depth of Kendra's experiences in this book left me pretty moved when I finished. Definitely something I don't experience so often with YA. Great series!

BRILLIANT INSTALLMENT IN THE SERIES! It was darker, angstier than the first book, the plot was even more intricate and exciting. I absolutely loved Julian! Can't wait the next book! The series is a must-read!!!
October 16, 2014
I liked this one waaaay better than the first one! It was much more action-packed and conflicts were engaging. I liked the characters more in this one, and I loved seeing more unfold over all of them. This one definitely hooked me to the series!
July 23, 2012
Exciting, beautiful, and sooo much character depth. LOVED it!!
July 10, 2012
Loved it, happy to see the second book is just as good if not better than the first! Im patiently waiting for the Third book.
July 7, 2012
Fantastic! Even better than Whirl. (which was not an easy task) Great story and loved the insight on all the characters!! I couldnt put it down! Cant wait for the next one.
November 6, 2015
Still loving this series. I just wish she would join team Julian! Although the Prince is a good adversary!

All I have to say is, dont ever, EVER, read this series.

Six months after the first book, Kendra is as badass as ever and she can now use her Empath virtue on elementals. But this proves to become a disadvantage to her, and she finds herself in doubt on whether she's relying on her magical aspects more now compared to her physical strengths.
1st star - this series keeps getting better and better! It focuses more on Kendra's journey, not just as sondaleur, but also on how she continues to grow and handle the grief that comes with the elemental war going on. I don't mind that the romance side is pushed in the background too.
2nd star - what got me hooked on book two is how Kendra handles her pain, emotionally and physically. I'm a sucker of angst that gets the main character down or doubting herself once in a while, but not too much that she's wallowing in self-pity. I actually relate to the times where Kendra's frustrated with her friends following her into danger 'cuz all she wants is to keep them safe!
3rd star - for the male leads/love interest, Julian and Tristan, though at this point I'm more on TeamJulian even though I already spoiled myself who'll be the "EndGame". These guys are a refreshing variety to the usual YA guys (maybe 'cuz they're portrayed as older than Kendra..), since there's only a subtle dose of jealousy and it also helps that Kendra knows who she likes but can't actually push through with it due to their circumstances.
4th star - Kendra Irisavie. Ondine. Sondaleur. And not good at asking for help. In the first parts of the book though, but she quickly learns from her mistakes and she acknowledges that the people she cares about aren't weak and instead of protecting them, she starts to support them in their own journey. I also like the continuity of how she now handles Empath and what makes her the Sondaleur.
Overall, can't wait for more of Kendra's journey (since the war has only just begun..) and am now excited to read the shorts inbetween Book 3!

This was an ok book , im invested in these characters but i am still finding the plot to be way to similar to the Vampire Academy series. I think that Rose, i mean Kendra lol should have gotten ahold of hersef way faster in the book it was to prolonged within the plot. The i want revenge crap and im totally in denial about my control was very annoying and again way to drawn out.
Love interests??????????
Do i ship Tristen and Kendra ? Not sure , they are obviously supposed to end up together but i think the author wrote these characters with to many obstacles. They live in two different worlds and Kendra would have to give up her soul to be with him in the end. Now im sure because she is champion and will most likly save them all in the end the magic that be will give her love as a reward ..... so overdone
But you know who i do like together !
Julian and Kendra , i know why would you go for Julian when you could have a “Tristen?” Firstly they trust eachother and for Kendra i think thats a hard thing for her to do. Julian obviously cares for her and teases and taunts her but he has a deeper respect and understanding for what she is going through. He understands at a deeper level to me who Kendra is rather than all of Tristen’s “belief” in her. Bonus points that Kendra could mate with him and still remain with a soul. I think this Julian and Kendra relationship would be healthier than the overdone novel realtionship ofTristen and Kendra.
Im still waiting for this author to find their own story and not just copy the Vampire Academy. Im going to continue this series and am hoping for the best but i doubt i will see much change.

This was considerably better than the first book.
First, I would like to say that I have fallen in love with Julian LeVeq. In the first book, he was very much Adrian whatever-the-hell-his-last-name-was from Vampire Academy. He lounged on a lot of things and was sexy and flirted a lot. But this book? I swooned. I mean, the personality traits still lingered from the first book, but he was a thousand times better.
Anyway, Kendra was also considerably new and improved. I still don't like her very much, but I am slowly growing to.
Most of my dislike for this book stems from its unoriginality rather than something inherently bad with it. I'm actually really excited to read the next two novels in this series if I can find them. I mean, this series isn't actually that popular, is it?
Anyway, I am actually quite invested in this book for some absurd reason. I know she and Tristan are going to end up together, but I am really curious how they're going to work around the glaring problems. And I'm so glad Ryder is out of the picture. I know that sounds super heartless, but come on, with him, there was like a love square. No one likes love squares.
And I'm out.

3.5 stars
Kendra was so annoying at times, I wanted to throw my kindle across the room. Everyone has so much patience with her - it’s frustrating. She really needs to drop the martyr act - it got tiresome after awhile.
Overall a very strong read - definitely moving on from stereotypes and becoming a unique story.

Kendra was less irritating here, but Julian still is awful. His entire archetype is not one I like. Tristan was still pretty good.
Also, why are dimillirs, selkies, dessondines, and ondines so special as to create Essence? I get everyone but selkies (all are related), but why selkies and not nixes?

This review was posted on thebookhookup.com and was written in conjunction with guest reviewer Z!
The Story:
Ana: I really enjoyed this book. I thought the story took some good turns and continued to intrigue me. The bad guys are even more evil in this installment and things are getting personal. The magic is changing and Kendra’s abilities are shifting which makes the action more interesting. The romance is still in flux…I have a love/hate relationship with that element because I can’t decide which way I want it to go!
Z: I’ve been looking forward to this book since I finished the first, Ana knows this as I kept badgering her for release date info. It didn’t disappoint! Kendra’s life has been turned upside down, in good ways and bad. Billow is about her struggling to deal with the trauma of those events, while balancing being a teenager, a girl, a powerful empath AND her worlds prophesized saviour. No easy feat. The love story still drives me crazy, because I’m as clueless as they are on how to resolve this. It’s in direct opposition to their responsibilities and her own mortality. Ah sweet forbidden romance! I was itching for them to give in to lust.
The Characters:
Ana: The characters in this book continue to evolve. They are growing and embracing their roles in this world. Kendra has a lot of weight on her shoulders and although she may not always handle things in the best way, she’s fiercely motivated to play her part in winning this war that threatens her people. We see a dark side to her in this story that wasn’t visible in the first book. Tristan is a true warrior…he’s selfless and focused on what is important outside of himself. But, I must say that I’m falling hard for Julian. He is the character that I think grew the most in this book and he never fails to surprise me with his actions. He’s a hidden gem!
Z: Julian was one of the best characters. He was such a surprise! So many hidden layers. Tristan the strong, protective, gorgeous Selkie Prince still has my heart. Always trying to do the right thing, but you can tell he’s dying to cross the line. Kendra is far from perfect, but she’s a real fighter and stands up for what she believes in. She’s also fiercely protective, which frustrates those close to her who want to stand by her side and help. As they work their way through these struggles you get a great insight into the strengths and weakness in all of them. We see their vulnerabilities while they fight their personal demons as well as the real ones. I feel like I bonded with them. Yeah, we totally bonded.
Likes:
Ana: Julian! His character is really making this story very interesting for me and I hope we see lots of him in book 3! I also like the fact that Kendra’s dark side was explored a bit in this book…I like that she’s a bit of a broken hero. I loved Ian as well. He’s a great new character!
Z: Gotta agree! Julian was a big like. I can’t even call what’s going to happen in book 3 now. I love all the fight training scenes. The anticipation when Tristan joined in. Julian’s banter.
Dislikes:
Ana: There’s not much to dislike here. As a matter of fact, I can only think of one thing. I don’t want to spoil anything but I didn’t like what happened to one of the female characters towards the end of the book. I can understand the reason for it…but it doesn’t mean I have to like it!
Z: That was a shocker. I was reading the kindle version, but mentally I threw the book across the room, wailing.
How it compares to book 1:
Ana: Unlike many second books, I thought this one was just as good as the first and is a great lead-in to the 3rd installment. The story took some turns and we learned more about the characters which is quite unique in middle books!
Z: This book was all about humanizing the characters for me. About life, loss, limitations, and acceptance. Lessons we all eventually learn, and an important step for these characters. A fitting second book. Oh, and we finally get a glimpse at the Shadow! Creepy.
Overall thoughts:
Ana: Good book…good series! I must admit that I still struggle with all the terminology that’s unique to this book but the definitions at the back are wonderful! I like that it’s different than some of the other books I’ve been reading lately and I’m fully invested in these characters. I want more Julian…and more Tristan…and the next book!!
Z: This series should totally be more popular. Once you get your head around the terminology, it’s easy to like. I pretty much read it in a day and wanted more. Those are my favourite kinds of books. The thing I’m most looking forward to within the next two books is visiting Tristans turf, the Selkie Kingdom!
So, the bottom line is that you should read this series, it’s great!!
