Tide and Tempest

Again, this book should have been 500 pages!
The type of story is vastly different from the other two, somehow...perhaps because of the hero being a happy sea captain. It gives quite the flavor of sea salt to the tale...
I loved knowing more about young Tilly. She'd begun to come out of her shell in the second book, and now she really begins to blossom. Of course there are the usual elements of danger and suspense from the ongoing villain of the first two books, but now they come ever closer to him and make some truly shocking discoveries.
I would have loved getting to have at least a chapter of epilogue of when the characters from the other books return to the now-safe city after the end of the story. But that was my only complaint.
