Story3.5 out of 5 stars 19
Khosa is given to the sea, a girl born to be fed to the water, her flesh preventing a wave like the one that destroyed the Kingdom of Stille in days of old. But before she's allowed to dance an uncontrollable twitching of the limbs that will carry her to the shore in a frenzy - she must produce an heir. Yet the thought of human touch sends shudders down her spine that not even the sound of the tide can match.

Sasha Stone knows her place - first-chair clarinet, top of her class, and at the side of her Oxford-wearing boyfriend. She's worked her entire life to ensure her path to Oberlin Conservatory as a star musician is perfectly paved. But suddenly there's a fork in the road in the shape of Isaac Harver. Her body shifts toward him when he walks by, and her skin misses his touch even though she's never known it. Why does he act like he knows her so well - too well - when she doesn't know him at all?

When a car crash sidelines Mickey just before softball season, she has to find a way to hold on to her spot as the catcher for a team expected to make a historic tournament run. Behind the plate is the only place she’s ever felt comfortable, and the painkillers she’s been prescribed can help her get there. The pills do more than take away pain; they make her feel good. But as the pressure to be Mickey Catalan heightens, her need increases, and it becomes less about pain and more about want, something that could send her spiraling out of control.

Alex Craft knows how to kill someone. And she doesn't feel bad about it. Three years ago, when her older sister, Anna, was murdered and the killer walked free, Alex uncaged the language she knows best - the language of violence. While her own crime goes unpunished, Alex knows she can't be trusted among other people. Not with Jack, who wants to really know her but still feels guilty over the role he played the night Anna's body was discovered. And not with Peekay, the kid with a defiant streak who befriends Alex while they volunteer at an animal shelter. Not anyone.

Publisher's summary
Duty, fate, desire, and destiny collide in this intricately wrought tale, perfect for fans of Sarah J. Maas.
Although she was born to save the kingdom by sacrificing herself to the rising sea, Khosa's marriage to King Vincent has redeemed her. As the Queen of Stille, she's untouchable. But being Queen hasn't stopped her heart from longing for the King's stepbrother, Donil. And it hasn't stopped her body from longing for the sea itself, which still calls for her.
While Khosa is made to choose between loyalty and love, Dara is on a mission for vengeance. Years ago, the Pietra slaughtered the entire Indiri race, leaving only Dara and her twin, Donil, alive. Now, spurned by King Vincent, Dara has embarked on a mission to spill the blood of Pietra's leader, Witt, and will stop at nothing to show his people the wrath of the last Indiri.
As the waves crash ever closer to Stille, secrets are revealed, hearts are won and lost, and allegiances change like the shifting sand.
Various roles as read by a cast of Narrators:
- Will Damron as Ank
- Alex McKenna as Dara
- Andrew Eiden as Donil
- Monika Felice Smith as Khosa
- Robbie Daymond as Vincent
- Sunil Malhotra as Witt
Critic reviews
"The ending of this lyrically written sequel is even more shocking, well-executed, and, refreshingly, not entirely happy.... The distinct perspectives shine, and the harsh-yet-hopeful conclusion ensures this duology doesn’t succumb to the tired trope of happily-ever-after, making this a worthwhile read." (Kirkus Reviews)
"McGinnis crafts an exceptional story from multiple points of view, providing fully fleshed out characters fans can’t help but cheer for - even the antagonists.... A satisfying duology conclusion for romance and fantasy fans." (School Library Journal)
"With six narrators and multiple kingdoms, races, histories, and cultures, this sequel to Given to the Sea...provides a satisfying conclusion to the saga.... McGinnis as established a fascinating, frequently gory, and fully realized backstory for each narrator." (Booklist)

In awe..
I find myself staying up till 2:06 in the morning not having a tired bone in my body needing to finish this story. What a wild ride. The first book at twists and turns but this one, had me gasping. I was truly surprised at ALL the twists and only wish I had more to hear. I hope one day the author will write more. But a good end to an amazing story. 10/10. Would recommend highly! But read the first book first, for sure.
