Summary:
Student glass magician Opal Cowan’s newfound ability to steal a magician’s powers makes her too powerful. Ordered to house arrest by the Council, Opal dares defy them, traveling to the Moon Clan’s lands in search of Ulrick, the man she thinks she loves.
Thinks, because she is sure that another man, now her prisoner, has switched souls with Ulrick.
In hostile territory, without proof or allies, Opal isn’t sure whom to trust. She can’t forget Kade, the handsome Stormdancer who doesn’t want to let her get close. And now everyone is after Opal’s special powers for their own deadly gain….
My Review:
Well, I’m glad I stuck the series out – because this book was better than the first.
The things I dislike about Opal were still present, but it felt like Maria took a good look at the character halfway through and decided to insert a bit of a backbone into her (maybe that was intended, but it sure made for annoying reading during Storm Glass).
I’m still a bit distracted by the love interests – three is too many and since they are stretched so thin there really isn’t a “side” I can get on, since all three of them drive me a little bit batty and have me missing Valek, Yelena’s love interest from the Study series, more and more.
The plot line was 100% better in this book, it was easier to follow and made sense! I actually read the entire book in an evening and didn’t struggle with wanting to put it down all the time like I did with Storm Glass.
Because of this book only I’ll be looking forward to Spy Glass – I’m anxious to see Opal’s growth and to find out what will happen with the interesting twist that occurred at the end of Sea Glass.
