Daughters of the Sea

review 1: This is a book about a girl named May. May lives a suffocating life on an island in her lighthouse. Between her mother finding her strange and her father forbidding her to go anywhere near the water, May is different. One day she finds the sea calling for her. Now, she must unlock the mystery of her past. I love the setting of this book. The setting molds the entire story. The style and the accents of the characters really add to the setting. The climax of the story is amazing. The story it’s self is excellent. This book it great. This book reminds me of a song. It’s called No Ordinary Girl by Indiana Evens. It’s about the sea and self-discovery. It also reminds me of the first book in the series Hannah. It’s about the same thing this book is about. It’s about f... moreinding the truth and discovering yourself. I really liked this book. If I had to recommend it to someone it would be the people who like science fiction and mystery. It is the second book in the series Daughter of the Sea. I love the series. This book is my favorite so far.
review 2: This one got the story going a little faster than book 1, but for more than half the book I was extremely confused, wondering...did I just "imagine" these two books were linked in a series? Because they have nothing to do with each other. Then I realized they WERE linked, and how, and it got a little better. Still, not a lot goes on for most of this book, and once again, it ends on a cliffhanger. Fairly frustrating.It's weird how these are supposedly YA books but have such a big font, and a cover that may appeal to younger kids. The writing is fairly symplistic, too. Yet there are make-out sessions and mentions of a "night on the mountain" with a boyfriend. Not really appropriate, I thought. less
