The Sea Stone by Nicolette Andrews
5.0
There are very few books that brought tears to my eyes. In fact, I can list them all on one hand. The Sea Stone is one of those books.
I can’t begin to describe the feeling I felt when I read that final sentence. I think a multitude of feelings would be a more appropriate term. I have never in my life been floored the way this book floored me. I am not exacerbating, I am not exaggerating. I am truly, utterly blown away.
I actually finished this book at the beginning of the month. It has taken me this long to adjust and mourn and compose myself. My heart aches for every one of this characters, Kaito and Suzume especially. As Nicolette knows, these two are the life and soul of this book and to see them in pain brought me to my knees. I will go down with this ship, if it’s the last ship I board. (I know, terrible boat pun.)
After finishing The Priestess and The Dragon, I knew I wasn’t going to be able to let this series go. I’m not one for keeping up with series as new books are released but TPATD had me hooked. Nicolette will tell you, I practically hounded her for The Sea Stone. Seriously. I may have even threatened to fly to her home and steal it. (An empty threat, calm down.) But because she is a very good friend, I eased off the begging and let her write this stunning art.
And boy, she delivered.
I hate giving out spoilers but I will tell you this: leave everything you thought you knew from TPATD at the first page. This book will shatter every notion, every hope, every bloody part of you. Suzume’s path is a very dark, troubled and complicated one. You may need tissues. Or wine. In my case, I needed both.
To Nicolette,
Why? Do you hate us? Is that it? Why must you give us such pain and take our hope? The ending was the worst of it. Oh, God, the ending. You, my lady, are a thief. A thief of joy, hope and my sanity. I hope you are satisfied.
(For reals, though. Love you girl.)
If you’ve read this far, go and read the book. Don’t make me throw it at you. Read it. Love it. Then come message me so we can cry together.
There are not enough stars in the universe for me to give to this book so five will have to suffice.
Until The Song of the Wind, I bid these characters farewell.
