"What's happening?" Carolyn asked as she grabbed her purse. "I believe we are about to be attacked," Phaidros said calmly.
This. book. was. so. GOOD!
Seriously though, it had me laughing, gasping, and just all around amazed at the witty dialogue and amazing research and writing that went into this. I wasn't sure it could get better after the first book in this series - The Immortal City - but The Sea of the Dead expands on it and then some. I'm so excited to read the next book in the series.
"There's nothing else worth devoting your life to. Believe me, I've looked. After all this time, it's only love that surprises me."
I really liked how Penelope and Alexis's relationship continued to progress as the fight against Thevetat and his followers rages on. It was also really interesting to see how Penelope managed her relationships with friends and family outside of the Magicians. I honestly don't think I have anything bad to say about this book. It did end on a JAW-DROPPING cliffhanger though, so I'll be picking up the 3rd book ASAP to find out what happens next. Without a doubt, a 5-star read for me.
