I finally made it back to this series as I wanted a quest and some dragons and elves and humans trying to save the world.

In this second book we see the quest really starting with Vhaly having to find answers that eventually might benefit all living things.

I found the story okay until I got to the end of this book.

There, I all of a sudden felt very satisfied with the story I had read. 

What I really love about this series is the group of people, each of a different race, that have agreed to go onto this quest for the benefit eventually of all earth creatures. The sea and its people are amiss as they are the ones waging war towards anything that is not sea.

I love the banter, the kindness, the camaraderie as well as the emotions that are being discussed,  as all have to deal with having lost people of their own kind in this ongoing situation of contention and the sea wanting to swallow it all up.

I also love the representation of nature and the care & love that is shown towards it, as there is a common awareness of being part of the earth and very much needing it in order to survive.
