Sea Witch Rising

De: Sarah Henning

Narrado por: Billie Fulford-Brown, Elizabeth Knowelden

The Little Mermaid takes a twisted turn in this thrilling sequel to villainess origin story Sea Witch, as the forces of land and sea clash in an epic battle for freedom, redemption, and true love.

Runa will not let her little sister die. Alia traded her voice to the sea witch for a shot at happiness with a prince who doesn’t love her. And his rejection will literally kill her - unless Runa intervenes.

Under the sea, Evie craves her own freedom - but liberation from her role as sea witch will require an exchange she may not be willing to make.

With their hearts’ desires at odds, what will Runa and Evie be willing to sacrifice to save their worlds?

Told from alternating perspectives, this epic fairy-tale retelling is a romantic and heart-wrenching story about the complications of sisterhood, the uncompromising nature of magic, and the cost of redemption.

It was cool

It wasn't as good as the first book but it was most definitely a decent read. It was an okay follow up to the first book.

hooked!

The story can have it's slow moments but overall I love the story. The attention to detail. I want more! Hoping to hear what happens to Evie next 🧜🏻‍♀️

Terrible sequel

I was surprised to have enjoyed the first book, but this one was a fail. All the problems of the first book came back and were even bigger. Plot line completely unrealistic, motivations of the numerous people laughably improbable.

Narrator was amazing. I only wish she had better content to narrate

Another Slithering Smash!!

Sarah Henning brought back characters we came to know and adore, while finding a way to seamlessly transition into a new time and characters, This thrilling new chapter into the lives of the Sea Witch, the Polyps, and the little mermaid who fell in love feels like a final ending to the conflicts between the magic of the land and sea,

Decent

I loved the first book. This one just seemed all over the place. It was an ok book, but definitely not as good as the first one!

Great Book!

Loved listening to this book. Parts of the book can be slow, but, like the first book in this series, it had a great ending.

A story that comes full circle.

I love how this story sets you on the edge of your seat from the first book, keeps you there throughout, and brings it all back around full circle by the end. So beautiful, so imaginative, so creative, it's just a masterful piece of art in form of the written word.

It was good

It was not as good as the first book. but still good and worth reading.

Not entirely satisfying, but still recommended

Somewhat lacking in emotion, this book hovered on the edge of pulling me in. It just never quite got there.
The big confrontation at the end felt a bit lacking. I was really hoping there would be a big battle where the two stories truly collided, but the separation between our heroines was just a bit too much to make the ending altogether satisfying.
I didn't expect World War I to appear in this book, I'll be honest. It added a lot of extra complications (obviously), and I'm not sure it actually enriched the book. It did pull me away from the magic and immersion though, but that's not surprising as alternate history isn't typically something I read.
Whaling ships and trawler nets could have easily replaced U Boats and sea mines, and the story would have been just fine.
The budding romance was alright. It was just kinda there. It didn't develop as I'd hoped it would, so it didn't pull me into the book as it could have.
Regardless, Evie and Runa's journeys toward freedom and their own voices are worth the read.
I listened to this as an audiobook, and the production quality was certainly there. I'm just not sure what the point was in hiring two separate female voice actors. It didn't really add to the experience.

Simply amazing

What can I say, book 2 for Sea Witch and Sarah Henning it just gets better and better. Love the twists and turns that this takes you through and love that you can just get lost in this magical world and it's amazing ness! Thank you Sarah for doing such a great job and great job on the narrators they brought this story to life it was awesome!
