This is such a fantastic series! The emotional connection with the characters, the suspense and action in the plot, the philosophy of sacrifice and giving of yourself for others.... all wonderful! It was lovely to discover this wizardly world under the ocean, and the descriptions of marine life were incredible.
It was interesting to see Nita having to interact more with her family, especially her sister. I loved the character of S'ree, the whale! She really glued the whole story together.

This book did not quite grip me the way the first book did, but that is common for a sequel. Still... I'm confident that I'll continue to enjoy this series!
