Whisper of the Tide by Sarah Tolcser

5.0

Dear Sarah Tolcser,
I love you, I love your books, and I will officially read everything you write for the rest of ever. And I will preorder them all! You’re welcome!

Whisper of the Tide was an outstanding sequel to an outstanding debut. I LOVED Song of the Current (like, really loved it), so I was a little bit worried that this wouldn’t live up to my expectations. HOW WRONG I WAS. It was so easy to dive back into Caro’s world, and even though book 2 is very different than book 1, it never felt lacking or lesser. It felt like an awesome continuation of Caro’s story.

EVEN THOUGH there are no more wherries and smuggling in this book,
EVEN THOUGH Markos isn’t even in the book for the middle 50%,
EVEN THOUGH Caro has to work with people she hates,
EVEN THOUGH the Sea God wreaks havoc on Caro’s life,
I. LOVED. THIS. BOOK. In fact, I loved it BECAUSE of all those things. It’s still got adventure, sass, humor, pirates, danger, monsters, corset jokes, shadow magic, strong ladies, etc. And it’s wonderful.

These books deserve all the hype. I can’t wait to read whatever Tolcser puts out next, even if I’ll miss hearing of Caro’s daring tales!
