While I found its predecessor to be superior, The Sea King was still an immensely enjoyable, and at times a heart wrenching read!
The expansion of the world and pantheon of gods (with their respective, gifted magics) was the best part of this book. The world just keeps growing and the magic keeps getting more and more intriguing—I can’t wait for Wilson to keep expanding the Mystral world.
This book was if Aquaman was in a pure fantasy setting, and I loved every second of it. I imagined a lovely kingdom like that of the planet of Naboo from Star Wars. Calberna is a kingdom where the people can control water, commune with the creatures within it, and are governed by a matriarchal hierarchy. Splendid!
