The Sea King (Weathermages of Mystral #2) by C.L. Wilson

Amy    

fantasy, romance

Dilys, the prince of Calberna, has earned the opportunity to court the 3 princesses of Summerlea in his search for a wife. Summer has always appeared to be the shy, sweet princess because she has been afraid to show the strength and danger of her full power. Of course, Dilys detects her full potential and is determined to win her over. Meanwhile, evil forces are in play trying to harm Calberna, forcing Dilys and Summer into a fight for their families and countries.

I am always amazed by C.L. Wilson’s creativity—especially with regard to describing fantasy worlds and inventing new languages (!). She is also great at creating tense situations that keep you reading to find out how things turn out for the characters. It’s been three years since the release of her last novel and I can’t remember whether she tortured the reader as much previously as she did in this novel. But the tension was evil on this one. The Sea King was never slow or boring. This was a good sequel to The Winter King and I’ll look forward to the next one.

However, I must say, that this is the most error-riddled e-book I’ve ever read. The longest I made it through without encountering a type-o, grammatical error, or a phrase which contained duplicate words was 30 minutes. I lost count of the errors I encountered. C.L. Wilson, I am willingly offering you my services for free to read any of your e-books before publishing in the future! I’m hopeful that these errors were caught before printing the hardcopy editions and that these are only e-book issues. There are so many errors, I would recommend that the publisher fix the e-books. Fix the files! The errors are a definite distraction.
