review 1: Given my current schedule,I can't believe I read this in two days flat and neglected other more pressing issues *coughs* like homework *coughs* Anyway,it has been a long time since I last read a book from the 'J' section in the public library,and I have to say that this sequel to the Ingo series did not disappoint. I first read the Ingo series when I was in primary school and I remember being absolutely enchanted by and so passionate about it. So,it had all the charm that Ingo held (can you resist the call of the deep?),and it made me feel like re-reading the series once more (which I shall certainly do,once I'm able to get my hands on the books.) Thank you,Morveren,for reminding me of Sapphy... And yet,I have to say that I prefer Ingo to this. I will definitely read the s... moreequel to Stormswept (if there is one). Quite interested to see whether it will link to Sapphy and Conor. Oh,and now I am going to sleep. It's 00:05 here and I have to get up at 05:45 for another school day.
review 2: I've always loved the Ingo books and this was just the cherry on top of the cake. Writing is awesome believable goodness (and I've always maintained that, that a fantasy book shouldn't be realistic so much as believable) and beautiful pacing and characterisation sigh. This stuff is like Animorphs for me, I love it so bad.I do miss stories about Sapphire, Connor, Faro, Elvira (dislike) and Rainbow (*squeal*!) but really after The Crossing of Ingo I wasn't sure how much could be done.The only thing I'm really against in this book was how much of a bitch Jenna was. And then Morveren just forgives her like that because they're twins. LIKE WHAT. Morveren never calls Jenna on any of her shit, and there is a lot of shit. Like seriously. And Morveren is meant to be the troublemaker.And the romance never happened, and I was all excited about it with the build up with the 14 years old thing! (not creepy in context) She just rejects him and you can see why, but it was pretty sad.Digory stuck me as a cute little prodigee. I would worry he'd lapse into Mary sueism but I should learn to expect better from Dunmore, even if the bookshop owner gave me a dissaproving look when I bought it (!).God, I really do love Manil. I always love all of Dunmore's male Mer guys they're just so dreamy. Protective and all fierce and awesome. And this is aimed at middle schoolers probably, language is PG-13.Also Helen used like a bajillionn dolphin metaphors, but that's forgivable because it's about the ocean and there are only so many likenesses to sea turtles you can make.All in all I loved it, I never expected this series to be continued (and was estatic to find it within the prewritten series) I can't wait for more of these books, they really are great reads. This might be the foolhardy speech of youth, but I can see myself rereading these ten years from now and looking back with a smile. They're those sort of humble, pretty things. less
