3.0

Strong character growth, particularly interrogating the idea of leadership. 

Trust, family, protection, with a quiet nod to education and literature. 

Tsunami not having learnt her native language of Aquatic was a lovely touch.

I really liked this one, maybe even more than the first book! It was a quick exciting read with plenty of twists and turns. I like the colorful descriptions of the setting and characters that the author uses, it makes it reading a sensory experience for me.
 There are a lot of characters, so keep them all straight in my mind, I made a list so I can keep track of who is who and what they look like.
