The Sea Lark’s Song

by Diana Marcellas

This is a sequel to Mother Ocean, Daugher Sea, which I read last spring. I’d been waiting anxiously for this second book to come out in paperback, and picked it up on our last trip to Uncle Hugo’s. I was not at all disappointed.

Looking back over the novel, nothing “big” really happened (with the exception of the last chapter), though at no point did the story drag. Lots of small incidents occurred, like the attack on Rowena, and all of them added up to a great story. Though it’s obvious this book is meant as a bridge or set-up for the next book where some major things are now set to occur.

Marcellas continues her excellent style from the first book. She maintains the story and moves it along while still developing sympathetic and believable characters. I’m looking forward to the third book.
