Dang, this is really good. There are some emotional, climatic points that just hit. I think this is set a few years after the first book. Here, Sola is questioning her identity since she as looked upon as this great savior, Alef want to colonize the world (read: sea), Hunder misses the sea and voyages again but wonders if he’s going down the wrong path. 

I loved all the characters and coloring. The Ghosts were an excellent part of the story. They really carried things.  I can’t wait for the next book.
