#133: Luminaire - Ciye Cho

(Affiliate link)

Being the only human in a world of merfolk... isn't easy. Florence Waverley chose to stay in Niemela, but things have gone awry. Secrets have risen and the prince she cares about has pulled away. All the while, dark dreams warn her of a tragedy that only she can stop. But in order to save the merman she loves, Florence will have to enter the Life Path tournament: a brutal test of fear and madness.

The tournament is a rite of passage--a maze where young mermaids and mermen battle to find their purpose. It is also a place where Florence will face grave danger: mermaids with evil magic, tunnels filled with sea fire, and guardians who wish to use her as a pawn in their secret plans. But will Florence be strong enough to survive the tournament... or will she perish inside it?

Everything hangs in the balance: her life, her world, and her love.

My review of book 1, Florence

My Review:

A bittersweet ending!

I now have to wait for the next book to find out the cliffhanger that I'm dangling from.... thanks Ciye!

Still it's worth it. So much action and adventure, the visuals you get when the author describes the colorful settings, my goodness, what's not to like?!

This was a great second book. I don't think you should read it as a stand alone though, so get a copy of Florence first if you haven't read it already.

5/5

REVIEW: It was weird starting off with a He-Man lookalike, Thunder the Barabarian), until I realized a character from the film was watching the cartoon in the airplane. Still, it was kind of cool to reminice about two cartoons from my childhood. So many great actors bring the film to life! What a fun story it was too! Although
