I really enjoyed Sea Witch which set high expectations for Sea Witch Rising. I really wanted to love this book but I just didn’t get into it.
The flicking back and forth between the POV kept taking me out of the story, and as I’d get into a character, we’d flit to the other again and I’d lose the connection I had.
I wasn’t a fan of Alia. I found her annoying, and then I didn’t feel the emotional connection when she turned to foam. There just felt like a lot of running about, and confusion.
There was a hint of a romance that never really amounted to anything, and was a bit disappointing. A lot happened in the story but the two main characters seemed to be on their own journeys and there wasn’t a link by the end.
I finished it. I still love book one, which is a standalone. Because of that I’d check out more of Sarah’s books but this one just didn’t hit the spot for me.
