Story3.5 out of 5 stars 13
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.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 35
Lucy's life by the pond has always been full. She has water and friends, laughter and the love of her adoptive mother, Lynn, who has made sure that Lucy's childhood was very different from her own. Yet it seems Lucy's future is settled already - a house, a man, children, and a water source - and anything more than life by the pond is beyond reach. When disease burns through their community, the once life-saving water of the pond might be the source of what's killing them now.

After a year of hard labor in the Salt Mines of Endovier, eighteen-year-old assassin Celaena Sardothien has won the king's contest to become the new royal assassin. But Calaena is far from loyal to the crown. Keeping up the charade - while pretending to do the king's bidding - will test her skills in an entirely new way. And it certainly isn't the only point of confusion for the young girl. Because though she's made her choice between Dorian and Chaol, the ways of the heart are never simple...

Chosen from birth to usher in a new era, Poppy’s life has never been her own. The life of the Maiden is solitary. Never to be touched. Never to be looked upon. Never to be spoken to. Never to experience pleasure. Waiting for the day of her Ascension, she would rather be with the guards, fighting back the evil that took her family, than preparing to be found worthy by the gods. But the choice has never been hers.

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.
