Markos is trying to get supporters to place him on the throne, as his father was the Emparch and was killed when Theucinian took power, but many people call him the Pretender and are too afraid of Theucinian to support him. Both Markos and Caro are on Theucinian’s hitlist, and much of the action comes from assassination attempts and being on the run. The book follows Caro’s first person POV as she tries to help Markos overthrow the rule of Konto Theucinian, who has a strict regime as monarch (or Emparch, as they are called here). And I hope fans of the book come into Whisper of the Tide with an open mind and heart to Caro’s flaws. I adored her from start to finish, mistakes and all.
But I think plain and simple, Tolcser breathed life into Caro’s character and made her resilient, flawed, and just great in general. What changed my mind? I could say that the events that happened were pretty awesome, or the resolution was sooo satisfying and lovely, or how the stuff that had me side-eyeing were properly addressed.
Whisper of the Tide was a stunning sequel! I came in with high expectations, and was honestly ready to give it a 3 star midway through the book, no joke. Note: This is the sequel to Song of the Current, which you can find my review here. With shipwrecks, lost treasure, old and new enemies, dark magic, and breathtaking romance, Sarah Tolcser weaves another epic story about chasing your fate. When a powerful Archon offers his army in exchange for Markos’s marriage to his daughter, Caro must choose: Her love for Markos, or the fate of Akhaia? And more importantly: How much is she willing to risk to defy the sea god’s wishes and chart her own course? Without any financial or military support, Markos is desperate for allies, and Caro has fought off more than one attempt on his life. But when she’s swept away on an adventure to save the Akhaian royal prince, Markos, her destiny is sealed by the sea god instead.įor now, Caro is landlocked, helping Markos reclaim his throne after nearly his entire family was assassinated in a political coup. Caro Oresteia spent her life waiting to be called by the river god, as those in her family had been for generations.
