Submerging is the second book in Shana Norris's series, Swan's Landing, a series about fin folk. It was enjoyable, not as much as the first book, but I did like the author's unique setting and family themes. I will read the next book in the series, but I will be expecting more.

Go Cards! L1C4!!

the story continues from the first book, however, it is now focus on sailor's search for her mother and to find out the truth about her father (and josh's) death. in this book, we will learn of the extinction of the finfolk. i guess we will finally know the causes of their extinction in the final book.
one thing though, sailor is quite annoying at times... oh yea, seems like finfolk people like to smirk, this word is frequently used to describe them...

So good!

This series has absolutely taken me by surprise! I didn't think I would like the changing perspectives and different stories that were all intertwined, but I love it. The characters are well developed and the stories are well written. I admire the female characters and Shana Norris for making them strong and independent, but still loveable and vulnerable. Can't wait to keep reading!

Unlike the one I read earlier this year (The Tail of Emily Windsnap), this is how you do YA Lit without talking down to them.

Not as much of a page turner as the first one. But really picks up and get good at the end. Can't wait to see what happens next.
