Book 40: The Dead-Tossed Waves

It's hard to rate or describe this book in a suitable fashion. There was so much emotion in it that I really don't know quite where to begin.

The Dead-Tossed Waves is a sequel to The Forest of Hands and Teeth. When I looked at the cover I thought it was going to be another story about Mary but it wasn't. Mary was still in it but it wasn't the books primary focus. It was about the girl she adobted and how vastly different they were but yet at the same time very much the same.

As in any really good book there was a long adventure filled with danger and death and an ending that didn't answer any of your questions but that's how authors make money. Write a book get readers hooked write a sequel with an cliff hanger sell more books come out with the last book land a movie deal and be set for your next series.

I didn't like this book as much as The Forest of Hands and Teeth. It was so hard not to compare The Dead-Tossed Waves to it that it really affected the rating of the book. I'd say that it was six sonnets out of ten. Still a very decent rating but room for improvement. I did like the book a lot and if you've read the first one it's always good to follow up with the rest of the series. Books enjoy company just as much as we do.
