The Perilous Sea (The Elemental Trilogy #2)by Sherry Thomas
Description:
After spending the summer away from each other, Titus and Iolanthe (still disguised as Archer Fairfax) are eager to return to Eton College to resume their training to fight the Bane. Although no longer bound to Titus by a blood oath, Iolanthe is more committed than ever to fulfilling her destiny—especially with the agents of Atlantis quickly closing in.
Soon after arriving at school, though, Titus makes a shocking discovery, one that makes him question everything he previously believed about their mission. Faced with this devastating realization, Iolanthe is forced to come to terms with her new role, while Titus must choose between following his mother's prophecies—and forging a divergent path to an unknowable future.
My Review:
This installment was very exciting.
Another thing I enjoyed was the stacked storyline. It’s like two full books told in parallel. One of the stories picks up where we left off in the last book. The other picks up where the other storyline will leave off, but it leaves so much in question that it adds a great deal of tension. I wondered the whole time what could have possibly happened. Sure, the author could have just told it all in chronological order, but I think this novel approach worked out well.
Highly recommended.
I borrowed this audiobook from the library.

Sherry writes in her second language. She learned English by reading romance and science fiction—every word Isaac Asimov ever wrote, in fact. She is proud to say that her son is her biggest fanboy—for the YA fantasy, not the romances. At least, not yet…
