Synopsis

A rebellious young heroine begins a voyage of self-discovery in the third novel of an epic fantasy series set in the world of Viridian Deep, from the legendary author of the Shannara saga.

Auris’s adoptive sister Char has always been the baby of the family—a position that grates on Char, especially when everyone insists on telling her exactly what to do and how to do it. But Char is certain that her headstrong, impulsive behavior, the quality her family sees as her greatest weakness, is actually her greatest strength: the willingness to instantly brave danger and leap to the rescue when anyone she loves is threatened.

Char knows she will never grow into the woman she was meant to be under her family’s loving but repressive eye, so a month before she turns fifteen, she runs away and joins a Human pirate crew in the warm southerly regions of her world. Then, three years into her pirate career, her captain—the man she is convinced she loves—is captured by the leaders of the slave trade he has been fighting. When Char leaps in to rescue him, she finds herself thrust into an adventure that will uncover secrets she never suspected about herself, one that will maybe, finally, teach her to look before she leaps.

This is not going to be one of my more eloquent reviews mostly because I don’t have many positive things to say about this book. In fact, I have no positive things to say about this book. Sister of Starlit Seas basically recycles absolutely everything from the previous 2 books in the series, except......more

Goodreads review by Caleb on December 31, 2023

3.5 ⭐ overall Well this felt a little Shannara. What I mean by that is instead of following Auris, the MC of the last 2 books, we follow her sister, Char. And just like Shannara liked to switch protagonists back in the day, apparently Viridian Deep is going to do that too. Nothing like switching that......more
