gio_shelves 's review for:
The Perilous Sea
by Sherry Thomas
“Fortune favors the brave."
Another moment of silence. And then, Iolanthe found herself shouting at the top of her lungs, her voice nearly drowned by the bellow of all the rebels present, "And the brave make their own fortune!”
I could tell you that this book has its flaws. But the truth is: I didn't care. I loved The perilous sea anyway. And I mean, LOVED, not just "loved".
- The plot is more complex this time around. The book follows Titus and Iolanthe/Fairfax in the present and in the past, a couple of months earlier. I love it when books follow this kind of scheme because, even if it is confusing sometimes it's always interesting. It made me anxious, and it gave me some pretty hard...feels. But it was worth it.
- I love Titus and Iolanthe. Titus because...well, because he isn't your usual male character. Sure, he loves Iolanthe but he has a mission too and in this book he has doubts about everything. I wanted to strangle him at one point? Yes. Did I still love him? YES. I like that he feels like his mission comes first, even if it makes him unhappy. And I liked that in this book he finally understood that he has to trust himself and not just his mother's diary.
I've always loved Iolanthe. She isn't whiny, she deals with everything life throws at her, always trying to do what she thinks it's right.
And these two...OTP. Plus...that banter is everything.
"The night you were born, stars fell. The day we met, lightning struck."
- Finally even secondary characters had an important role. I really liked this since it's a rare thing in ya.
- The setting is one of my favourite parts of this series. England, Eton college, The Domain and this time The Sahara desert too. Plus I still want a Crucible guys. Best thing ever.
Soooo...no need to tell you I loved this book right? This review is all "I loved this, I loved that...and that too." But that's pretty much what I felt the whole time.
