These Divided Shores by Sara RaaschMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
How long was it gonna be until someone told me there was a title and cover for this sequel to These Rebel Waves?
And after that massive cliffhanger on the first book too!
I wanna see some major-league ass-kicking in this book, too. Reylo-grade ass-kicking. We all know Raasch can make it happen!
And guess what? Being Raasch, she delivers pretty well on this, the second half of her second series, and a pretty perfect piece of duology conclusion. All the lingering questions of These Rebel Waves are answered as the story comes full circle, and with a lot more world-building to go along with it. We don't really explore other nations beyond Grace Loray and Argrid very much, but the cosmopolitan nature of the island's society really comes into the spotlight, as we get a lot more little bits of culture from other places besides Gunnar's native Mechtlands. For instance, Emerdian masonry, capable of endlessly shifting, and therefore useful for the construction of seemingly inescapable prisons.
Of course, no prison-builder or hypocritical Inquisition-like theocratic assbutt king of Argrid could have seen the likes of Lu, Vex, and Ben coming.
500-plus pages fly pretty quickly in Raasch's latest, and as always, I'm begging for more from her. But for now, I'm bidding this series ave atque vale while eagerly awating her next work!
