![]() ![]() The only downside was that my theory there was a kraken in this proved incorrect! The romance arc in this novel is certainly one of the best I've read, so believable in the developing tensions between its two leads, and it was fascinating to explore other aspects of the setting of the Kingdom Isles (I thoroughly loved the chapters set on the island of Wvlpa and the indepth look at illoba culture, gloriously well-written), and the ending is truly bittersweet, with several "What the hell just happened" moments in the final chapters that will definitely leave the readers aching for the next book in the series (I know I need the third book like yesterday!) Sonntag has really fleshed him out into a sympathetic and likeable character, in that you get to see in greater detail the reason why he is the man he is. Sonntag's debut novel, and boy, what an enjoyable roller coaster it's been! Maylie Shadow takes a back seat in this one but that makes it no less enjoyable I was a bit ambivalent about Ferryn in the first novel, but in giving him the helm (no pun intended!), D.M. ![]() So after re-reading the Lightning Bride and my first read of the Mermaid's Shadow got me in the mood to return to the Kingdom Isles, I was itching to get started on the sequel to D.M. ![]()
