My only wish is that I was a kid reading this. Magnificent. Such an adventure.

Themes of friendship and family are still so prevalent. Found family. Love that.

Leaning more towards a 3.5. This one didn't have quite the same horror factor as The Jumbies, but was a good continuation of the story and delved into a bit heavier themes while revisiting matters of the first. I loved the descriptions and imagery, especially that of the sea. The writing style kept the same overall vibes as before and engaging pacing, though I felt some things wrapped up a little too neatly for my tastes. However, I look forward to reading the final installment and still strongly hope this series gets adapted into film because, I mean c'mon?
