The Lion Lies Waiting by Glenn Quigley
5.0
This is book 2 in Glenn Quigley's The Moth and Moon series. While book 1 didn't end on any kind of cliffhanger (and neither does this), it's definitely a continuation of lives of those characters. Having read The Moth and Moon definitely helps with understanding the characters and some of the events that lead to their travels. This review may contain spoilers to the previous book.
I loved, loved, loved this book. Quigley's writing is so descriptive - the world building, emotions, suspense, mystery, adventure, and romance are all impeccable. It's a long book but really many smaller stories and events that come together to tell a wonderful story.
Robin, Edwin, & Duncan leave Merryapple and set sail for Blackrabbit Island to investigate the strange behavior of Edwin's mother. Eva & Iris are also there as Eva's father has fallen ill and isn't expected to make it. They run into old friends, make new acquaintances, and unwittingly uncover a nefarious plot. Family secrets are revealed (for numerous Merryapple residents), relationships are tested, and eventually found-family bonds are strengthened. A special request is made and it will change the lives of so many.
I don't know how to express how much I enjoyed this without spoiling anything. So many threads woven together to create such a beautiful story. Such a joy to read and I'm looking forward to We Cry the Sea
