From sea to land and back again, Tideborne is the captivating conclusion to The Watermarked Trilogy.
Danielle Butler has spent most of her life making up stories. From the rich and multi-layered lives of her Barbies and anthropomorphised stuffed animals, through her work as a long form improvisation and stage actor to development producing for film and TV—it was all about What Happens Next. American-made, she lives the exPat life in the UK with her husband and various pets in a little house on a very old river.
Loved the series. Character devalues great. I felt the emotions were spot on (not ignored nor bombastic) very well balanced. The storyline is fun and fascinating. Read one a day and so enjoyed them.
Third in the series, this fills in a lot of the backstory of Cam's family and friends both land- and sea-bound. I had a break in reading this but the characters came back effortlessly when I did. Immersive and beautiful, this story gives a different take on loss to the first book. There you feel a child's pain and sense of abandonment; now Cam has matured to a point where she has to contemplate the no less painful act of being the one to abandon those she loves, for their own good.
The author leaves the best for last with the conclusion to this series! Answers to questions are finally found through mysterious twists and turns and Cam still continues to steal our hearts as she learns about life within and around the sea. Love this series!
