A review by mimosaeyes
Whisper of the Tide by Sarah Tolcser

3.0

Plot-wise, this second novel has a lot more thrust and better pacing. On the downside, though, Caro's motivation is a hot mess - she spends the whole book protecting Markos, trying to get back to Markos, and then hunting down treasure so she can go off sailing into the horizon with Markos. I found this faintly irritating, as it eclipses her own arc about identity. Caro claims to understand who she is by the end of the novel, but I don't see how.

Tolcser is also overly fond of her two leads taking turns to fake-die. But if that's your thing...

At least the subplots involving all the minor characters wrap up nicely.
