Storm Keeper Trilogy 2

The Lost Tide Warriors

“Fans of Harry Potter or Percy Jackson can add Fionn Boyle as a generous and brave hero from the Emerald Isle.” – School Library Connection on The Storm Keeper's Island There is magic deep within Arranmore Island, and Fionn Boyle is beginning to discover how it has woven its way through generations of his family's history. But Arranmore is in trouble; evil sorceress Morrigan's soul stalkers have returned, giving rise to widespread fear and suspicion. Fionn wants to help, but the Storm Keeper magic passed down from his grandfather seems to have deserted him. Fionn sets out to summon the merrows, a vast army of sea creatures who may be his only chance. But how can he find them without the faintest idea of where to look? The battle to save Arranmore has begun. This gorgeously written, magical tale of family, bravery, and self-discovery is perfect for fans of Orphan Island and A Snicker of Magic.

It's been a long time since I've cried reading a book, and this book had me weeping with a box of tissues near me. This book was such a great sequel to The Storm Keeper's Island, which I read three years ago. The story picks up pretty much right after The Storm Keeper's Island events. We see more of Fionn's mom Evie and more of the other residents living on Arranmore. 

Doyle weaved in the Celtic folklore superbly and had me so interested in it. The description of the events taking place in The Lost Tide Warriors is vivid, and you feel like you're standing and watching the events unfold right in front of you. You see a lot of growth from Fionn and his sister Tara. It was nice to see more of the characters and their motivations. 

This book was such an emotional read, mainly because of the relationship between Fionn and his grandfather. It's such a beautiful relationship filled with warmth, sadness, wisdom and everything you hope for of a relationship between a grandparent and their grandchild. Their relationship is one of the main motivating factors in my reading of this book. 

I'm definitely going to pick up the final book in the trilogy after the ending! I would wholeheartedly recommend this book to anyone who was a fan of The Storm Keeper's Island!

           I am so so grateful to Bloomsbury for letting me read this a little early. I adored Storm Keepers Island, wholeheartedly and completely so I was desperate to find out what would happen next. 

The relationship o’Doyle has built between Fionn and his grandad is so powerful and heartwarming by the end I was audibly ugly crying on public transport. 
I love this series, I love its roots in Celtic mythology. I love it’s spirit and the tenderness of its masculinity. I love the wonderful and beautiful magic system that is being built. O’Doyle finds a balance of gorgeous writing and mixes it with good humour and perfect pacing to make a book that can be love by all. An instant classic in my opinion
