A review by rachelwrites007
Whisper of the Tide by Sarah Tolcser

5.0

This was even better than book 1. It reminded me a lot of [b:Crown Duel|596307|Crown Duel (Crown & Court, #1)|Sherwood Smith|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1328047915s/596307.jpg|28162970] for it's court intrigue and spying and romance. I loved the adventures Caro and co. got into, and Markos's little sister NEEDS her own book (or at least her own novella).

I thought this one was easier to get into than the first as there was no real down time, and both books in the series are on my favorites list because of their unique world-building with river/ocean gods, swoony romance, and politics. (Also POINTS for making sure the science-y side character/girl could be interested in both make-up and science!)

If you liked Sherwood Smith's [b:Crown Duel|596307|Crown Duel (Crown & Court, #1)|Sherwood Smith|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1328047915s/596307.jpg|28162970], Pirates of the Carribean, [b:The Girl from Everywhere|21979832|The Girl from Everywhere (The Girl from Everywhere, #1)|Heidi Heilig|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1434729653s/21979832.jpg|41290415], and/or [a:Tamora Pierce|8596|Tamora Pierce|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1209044273p2/8596.jpg] you'll want to dive headfirst into Caroline's story.
