This is a nostalgia re-read for me.
For readers who: are looking for solid middle-grade fantasy.

I had forgotten the seriousness that is to be found in this book but it was still an enjoyable read. Tris and everyone's character growth is a-work-in-progress without be tortuously slow and I can see why I loved this series so much as a preteen and teenager. It is a joy to reread this childhood favorite and enjoy it even more as an adult.
Tris was so great in this book. I love her powers. The quartet are getting closer to each other and growing as friends and into themselves as young adults. With a pirate attack appearing on the coast it throws everyone and everything into chaos.
Each of the kids grows a little bit in this book, finding new parts of their powers. But I've always liked Tris from the beginning. I like that she's a storm mage. I've always been fascinated by thunder and lightning. I love that lightning sparks along on Tris' fingers. Her life has left her so unsure of herself, she's scared and hesitant. Finding her way into her powers and how to control such powerful elements was lovely to watch.

While Tris is not my favorite of the group it is really lovely to see the group grow together. I would say this book is darker than the first one and more stressful. I did enjoy it and really am liking the series over all.
I really like this series. I like how the kids all have a variant of determination but their strengths all help them persevere in different ways. The series seems to be well thought out with the order of events making sense.
I'm not sure what to say. While I find the story interesting and the characters great, I do wonder where the story is going.
The Winding Circle Temple is threatened by pirates and the children do all they can to protect their new home.
Still enjoying the characters and the story.
