I think this ended up as a 3/5 or so for me for the same reason you knocked it down to a 4. Not learning the secrets made me unhappy with her world building, I wasn’t able to just relax into her creation without at least some hints about the secrets. I’ll be waiting to hear if the next book reveals more. If not, I likely won’t read it.

So many wonderful reviewers have praised this book. I think I’m convinced…off to put it on the wish list. Thanks for the great review.

I can’t wait for the second book!!! I’m glad you got to read it and post your review. I love seeing what others thought. I walked into it with no idea what was going to be in it, so I kept trying to figure out what in the heck was going on! I’m glad to see I wasn’t the only one!

I will definitely read this book someday soon; it’s been in my TBR forever.

@Catherine: I thought they found Gabriel’s village though, and it was not at the sea?

@Yunaleska: It took me a while to pick this one up too but I am so glad that I did!

It’s the front cover that lured me in to check out this review – and now I’ve read it I really want it!

I think there are a lot of stories that could be told, and I do like the idea of doing Gabriel’s one. Would make a nice companion to Mary’s story, IMO.

I’m glad you liked this one – I did too. Can’t wait for Dead-Tossed Waves.

Ah I thought Gabry was from the Unconsecrated town on the way that they found with the house and the old newspapers. I thought they were picking up later still even. Makes sense to tell the girl in red’s story, I like that.

Gabby is Gabriel — the girl in red.
