Review: The Eternal Sea

The Eternal Sea (Everlasting, #2)The Eternal Sea by Angie Frazier

Summary (from Goodreads): After the thrilling journey that led Camille through the dangerous discovery of love, secrets, and a magical stone that grants immortality, Camille has everything she wants. She’s escaped the men who wanted her dead, and now she is ready to build a new life with Oscar, her one true love. But things are not to be so simple. Oscar is acting strangely, and before they can even board a ship from Australia back home, to San Francisco, Camille learns that the journey is not over. If she does not follow the magic of the curse of Umandu, her life and Oscar’s could be in grave danger.

My Thoughts: Compelling and suspenseful, The Eternal Sea is very well-written and engaging. I enjoyed the adventure. I was disappointed that there was little Ira in the story, but I did get a kick out of some of the new characters. Well, maybe not a kick out of them, but they definitely were interesting. Maggie, however, pissed me off. I was sure that she was trying to make a move on Oscar. I’m still not convinced that she isn’t attracted to him. And I wondered, who really is trustworthy? Is it Maggie? Or Captain Starbuck? (I love his name, too! LOL)

One thing I really liked was getting to know minor characters – or at least characters with less time in the center of the action – from Everlasting. Samuel had a bigger role, and it was interesting to watch his character develop. And Randall. It was really neat getting to know him better. What a really good guy! And Camille wouldn’t be unfortunate if she ended up with him.

This book is clearly not the end – at least it had better not be. There are too many unanswered questions. (I am going to refrain from listing them, as to avoid spoilers.) And, I have to be honest. I kinda hope the next book is the last. Don’t get me wrong. Both this and Everlasting were fantastic. I’m just tired of the despair. Tired of the hope, only to see it obliterated. I want the journey – and the curse at the center of it – to be over. And I want to see Camille and Oscar together.
