Review Detail

What I liked:
Tess is on a mission to change the world; she has been on this journey since we first met her in Tess of the World. In the Serpents Wake, Tess is out on the open sea desperate to save a friend, and many would not like to see her mission succeed. The author has a way of dragging us into this story with interesting characters, creatures, and discoveries about those characters and animals that are mind-blowing in their detail and enhancement of the story. This story is parallel to our world, and its various issues bring a modern depth of reality that helps you connect to the events and characters you are reading.
Final Verdict:
The Quigutl is my favorite character in this series, and they add a touch of quirkiness to the overall book. The Narrator does their voices so well you can't help but smile when you hear them. The overall pacing of the story is slower than I liked, so at times, it felt drawn out, but again, we are dealing with a lot more levels than in book one, and a lot of balls are being juggled. Go into this one knowing you are in for an emotional ride.
Audiobook Review:
Same Narrator as book one, voicing the characters is unique and makes for a delightful listening adventure.
