Song of the Abyss
(Adobe EPUB eBook, Kindle Book, OverDrive Read)
As the granddaughter of a famed navigator, seventeen-year-old Reyna has always lived life on her own terms, despite those who say a girl could never be an explorer for the royal house of St. John del Mar. She is determined to prove them wrong, and as she returns home after a year-long expedition, she knows her dream is within reach. No longer an apprentice, instead: Reyna, Master Explorer. But when menacing raiders attack her ship, those dreams are pushed aside. Reyna's escape is both desperate and dangerous, and when next she sees her ship, a mystery rises from the deep. The sailors—her captain, her countrymen—have vanished. To find them, Reyna must use every resource at her disposal . . . including placing her trust in a handsome prince from a rival kingdom. Together they uncover a disturbing truth. The attack was no isolated incident. Troubling signs point to a shadowy kingdom in the north, and for once, the rulers of the Sea of Magdalen agree: something must be done. But can Reyna be brave enough to find a way?

In the dark of night, raiders attack a ship sailing home to St. John del Mar. Seventeen-year-old Reyna is no longer an apprentice cartographer but a royal del Mar explorer in her own right. After escaping from entranced pirates and swimming through sea monster-infested waters, Reyna sputters onto shore and meets a handsome, grieving prince. Capt. Levi, the second child of the recently deceased King of Lunes, offers aid, but the two start off on the wrong foot with mistrust, lies, and deception. Mysterious disappearances of beloved family members while at sea unite the royal families, and they agree upon a desperate and dangerous mission to the mysterious kingdom of Miramar. In this sequel to Isle of Blood and Stone (2018), Lucier creates a richly satisfying maritime world where maps are revered by kings and queens. The action-packed romance weaves together an assortment of dangerous sea creatures, magical sirens, underwater ghosts, and human armies sacrificed to appease a dying monarch. There's more heart-pounding action in Reyna's story, with a superbly developed heroine, charming secondary characters, and playful dialogue. However, after traversing dangerous waters, the plot careens through the climax somewhat insipidly, and romantic developments aboard ship can feel timeworn. Levi is presumed white, and Reyna is brown-haired and golden-skinned. A delightful romantic adventure flavored with ancient legends and salty ocean lore.

Gr 7 Up-When apprentice mapmaker Reyna discovers that her ship has been boarded by mysterious pirates, she escapes into the water. Helped by Prince Levi of Lunes, Reyna discovers that her ship has been recovered, but the sailors are gone. Soon, more ships turn up empty. As the only eyewitness to the strange raiders, Reyna sets out with Levi to uncover the mystery. The plot moves at a fast clip with staccato sentence structure and restrained description that lets readers fill in the details of the places and peoples Reyna encounters. In the tradition of Tamora Pierce, Lucier represents a global diversity of cultures. Reyna's Portuguese-inflected homeland and Levi's Jewish kingdom are not too distant (geographically and linguistically) from Miramar, which borrows from the Chinese Qin dynasty's funeral rites and Japanese Meiji imperial iconography. The result is a diverse cast and a swashbuckling adventure that evolves into court intrigue. The consequences of Reyna and Levi opening isolationist Miramar to the outside world are perhaps too briefly dealt with. Reyna's relationship with Prince Levi works best as a solid partnership when they are united in finding the missing-and ensorcelled-sailors. Both young people's good sense and open attraction to each other means that bits of romantic conflict don't quite fit. Thankfully, they are more interested in harpies and secret passages than relationship drama. VERDICT A forgotten kingdom, kidnapped sailors, and an ambitious girl cartographer hungry to chart the unknown-this book will satisfy fans of female-led adventure fantasy.-Katherine Magyarody, Texas A&M University, College Station

In this follow-up to �cf2]Isle of Blood and Stone�cf1], apprentice mapmaker Reyna crosses paths with Prince Levi when their nations ally against the reclusive island of Miramar. Miramar's prince is leading sea raiders to kidnap ships' crews, including Reyna's and Levi's brother's. Lucier's fantasy world-building is exquisite--deadly sea monsters, siren-like bird-women, exotic customs, elements of magic--and the romance between Reyna and Levi is heady.(Copyright 2019 by The Horn Book, Incorporated, Boston.

After being forced off her ship by sea raiders, apprentice mapmaker Reyna swims to the island of Lunes. There she meets a Lunesian prince, Levi, who would treat her as an honored captive; instead she escapes and makes her way home to St. John del Mar. Their paths cross again when Lunes seeks to form an alliance with del Mar against Miramar, a reclusive island whose prince is leading the aforementioned sea raiders to kidnap ships' crews?Reyna's crew, but also Levi's brother's. Sparks fly between Reyna and Levi as they brave the dangerous sea passage to Miramar, feelings that complicate their mission when they arrive and discover a dying monarch, a contested succession, and a tradition of interring a king with his (still living) advisers and family members. Lucier's fantasy world-building is exquisite?deadly sea monsters, siren-like bird-women, exotic customs, and elements of magic?and the romance is heady. Fans of Isle of Blood and Stone (rev. 5/18) will thoroughly enjoy this return to the enchanting Sea of Magdalen. anita l. burkam(Copyright 2019 by The Horn Book, Incorporated, Boston.
