Song of the Abyss
By Makiia LucierPublisher Description
Ancient grievances, long-held grudges, and dangerous magic combine in this sweeping fantasy perfect for fans of Tamora Pierce and Rachel Hartman.
As the granddaughter of a famed navigator, seventeen-year-old Reyna has always lived life on her own terms, despite those who say a girl could never be an explorer for the royal house of St. John del Mar. She is determined to prove them wrong, and as she returns home after a year-long expedition, she knows her dream is within reach. No longer an apprentice, instead: Reyna, Master Explorer. But when menacing raiders attack her ship, those dreams are pushed aside. Reyna’s escape is both desperate and dangerous, and when next she sees her ship, a mystery rises from the deep. The sailors—her captain, her countrymen—have vanished. To find them, Reyna must use every resource at her disposal . . . including placing her trust in a handsome prince from a rival kingdom. Together they uncover a disturbing truth. The attack was no isolated incident. Troubling signs point to a shadowy kingdom in the north, and for once, the rulers of the Sea of Magdalen agree: something must be done. But can Reyna be brave enough to find a way?

“Umm...I don't like giving the less savory reviews but I do like to give reviews. I was excited for this book when I realized it was the sequel to Isle of Blood and Stone which I read...forever ago but remember being in LOVE with. So when it took me two-three sewerage tries to start reading this, I was surprised. It feels like Lucier didnt...care much for this book...? Like the amount of times she wrote "she told him" kind of bothered me. I feel like there was a disconnect between the reader and the book. Like she wrote it out of compulsion rather than out of genuine enjoyment. With that being said, it got a few laughs out of me and I enjoyed the banter when it was there. I liked the aspects of the harpies and the clay and the miniature details but altogether, I feel like she was just trying to get it on the page. I still have hope for Year Of The Reaper though.”
