Faye and the City in the Sea by Nicole Bailey

4.0

I liked this sequel even better than the first book! Faye’s struggle with PTSD was really interesting. Typically in fantasy stories with a chosen one trope, the characters take to the conflict so easily, and I think it was fascinating to see Faye struggle so much with it, yet she always remained committed to the fight. The character development between Faye and the merpeople was also great, and of course Alec and Daron were as precious as ever. But my favorite part was the evolution of the relationship between Faye and Telanes. I hope more develops there, but even if they only remain close friends, their relationship is beautiful. I can’t wait to start the next one!
