The saga continues in a brilliant way! I loved every inch of this. The way Gwynne can put such a vast world onto paper is a lesson every writer can learn from. I don’t know if I’ve ever felt so immersed in a story, but Gwynne picks you up and puts you right there; sitting on a sea chest with an oar in your hand and the sea spray in your face. Every character and POV is interesting, the way they intertwine shocked and delighted me. I can’t wait for more!
