Waterfire Saga, Book Three: Dark Tide

By: Jennifer Donnelly

Narrated by: Tara Sands

Once a lost and confused princess, Serafina is now a confident leader of the Black Fin Resistance (BFR). While she works on sabotaging her enemy and enlisting allies for battle, her friends face challenges of their own. Ling is in the hold of Rafe Mfeme's giant trawler, on her way to a prison camp. Becca meets up with Astrid and learns why the Ondalinian mermaid is always so angry: she is hiding a shameful secret. Ava can't return home, because death riders await her arrival. And it is getting more and more difficult for Mahdi, Serafina's betrothed, to keep up the ruse that he is in love with Lucia Volerno. If Lucia's parents become suspicious, his life--and all of Sera's hopes--will be extinguished. Political intrigue, dangerous liaisons, and spine-tingling suspense swirl like a maelstrom in this penultimate book in the WaterFire saga.

sooooooooooo good

when I started reading this book it had me hooked on it and then at the end how it left me on a cliff hanger, I loved it.

Really good!

I don't know if it was because most of it was through other perspectives or I just got used to it, but the narration seemed better this time. I loved the storyline. This book may be my favorite one of them so far!

accents getting better & love is in the air.

story becoming a lot more engaging - not as slow. characters finally getting some action and developing debt.

and the accents are starting to feel less ridiculous . I'm a mix of 3 of the main mermaids ethnicities and the struggle was real lol.

Great story... bad voice

I enjoy this series in part because mermaid characters that don’t desire to be human are rare and because of the multiracial characters. Unfortunately the voice of this book comes off as racist rather than anything. Listening to the voice butcher accents was painful. I had hoped that after the first book the voice would change since the main character changed. But instead the same voice is steadfastly horrible. Please please do this book the favor of finding a new voice and giving us listeners a well needed change.

LOVED it
