This much anticipated sequel from Adalyn Grace definitely delivered! Continuing the story of Amora, Bastian and the crew, All the Tides of Fate was beautifully written and wonderfully frustrating!

This duology is fantastic! The characters are well developed, realistically flawed, and easily relatable. Amora’s grief and decision making flaws are profound and truly understandable. The plot is unique, robust, and full of beautiful friendship.

While I’m usually a fan of more... substantially detailed romance... but the slow burn romance was delicious and frustrating in all the best ways! I love Bastian!

My only issue was the pacing. It was kind of hard to get into at the beginning and didn’t pick up for me until about half way through. I’m not sure if it’s because I was really sick while reading or what, but that was the only “problem” I had with this book!

If you love pirates, royalty, adventure, and found family stories, this is definitely a duology for you! For fans of Daughter of the Pirate Queen duology, Fable, and Dark Shores! Adalyn’s writing style is fantastic and engaging.

This review is now on Goodreads, and will be shared on my bookstagram and posted on Amazon on release day.

I may not have loved this book, but it was still an incredibly enjoyable read! The world-building in this book and the first book of this series is truly phenomenal. The magic system is truly fascinating and unique. The author's prose is so lyrical and enjoyable. The supporting cast is great, and the romance is so great. Vetea is easily my favorite character, and I love how the author took her own twist on the legend of mermaids. What took away enjoyment for me was Amora. She was an incredibly annoying narrator who was so self-centered it was incredibly frustrating. I kept trying to let it pass because of her grief, but she was truly a terrible narrator. I missed the Amora of book one.

3.5/5 rating

I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review. Thank you NetGalley!

I really enjoyed the first book in this duology, but unfortunately the sequel fell a little flat for me. I thought the plot was all over the place and would randomly change on a whim. But my biggest fault with this book would have to be Amora. While I typically enjoy the ‘unlikable’ characters, I found myself getting more and more annoyed with her as the story progressed. I couldn’t understand her thought process and why she made some of the decisions that she did. I also felt her issues with Bastian were unnecessary and didn’t make much sense.

That being said, the world building and side characters really saved this book for me. I loved reading about the islands we didn’t get to see in the first book, and how their differing magic affected each island's culture.

Overall this book was good but it wasn’t great. And I’m still incredibly glad I got the chance to read this ARC. I’m excited to see what Adalyn Grace comes out with next!

“Make this life everything it should be.”

Wow, I don’t even know where to begin with this beautiful book. As much as I loved the first, this one is remarkably even better. I felt every bit of Amora working through her unbelievable grief, and her growth in this story was absolutely incredible. All our favorite characters from the first story are back, and we’re blessed with a lot more of Shanty in this book as well. The world is developed so much more deeply in this story as we see all of the islands working to rebuild and discovers their new roles in the world after the events of the first story. I very strongly recommend this to absolutely anyone who enjoyed the first story, and also to anyone who has ever had to work through any sort of grief and tricked themselves into thinking they needed to do it by themselves. Just know before beginning, your heart will be ripped out by this book, but it is still sooo worth it.

Thank you Netgalley for giving the opportunity to receive an early copy. I must say I enjoyed the first book more than the second. The first book was more based of an adventure and romance. I found the main character Amora a little bit annoying and selfish most of the time. I still enjoyed reading and learning more about Bastian and the rest of the crew. The death of one of the main characters was totally unnecessary. I still enjoyed the writing of course but I expected more.

All the Stars and Teeth finishes with Amora Montara crowned queen of Visidia. Her father has been killed and secrets that could mean the end of Visidia have been revealed. Her kingdom is in a vulnerable position and its restoration and the livelihood of its citizens depends on Amora.

All the Tides of Fate quickly picks the story back up and draws you in with its quick pace and sense of adventure. This book takes you out onto the open sea and demands your attention with daring escapes, plot twists, and lovable characters.

Amora is now magicless since she was cursed by Bastian’s brother, Kaven. In order to keep up her front as the High Animancer, wielded of Soul magic, Amora must risk everything- relationships, her freedom, and even her crown. While balancing the grief of losing her father, Amora must also keep the kingdom from falling into disarray and outright war. Feeling as though the weight of the world is on her shoulders, Amora must learn how to rely on those around her for help, support, and snarky comments (thanks, Bastian).

I must say that I adore Adalyn Grace's writing style. I still stand by my love for the first book and I will probably reread it in the future. If you are more into the politics of this book, then I highly suggest picking up the sequel! It was nice to see friendly faces and I loved the new characters that we were introduced to! Overall, I really had fun reading!

All the Tides of Fate is the sequel to All the Stars and Teeth and picks up a few seasons where the first book left of with Amora as the new queen of Visidia. In this volume, Amora and her friends take a tour of the kingdom pretending to find a husband for Amora, but actually trying to find a way to break the curses between her and Bastian, and the Montara family curse.

I enjoyed getting to read about the different islands and some of the cultural aspects associated with them. The world building and mythology of Visidia was really well done and I wish there had been more. I also loved all of the supporting characters that are apart of Amora's crew. They are all so loving and supportive. Amora really bothered me though. I was annoyed with her avoidance of Bastian, which was kind of a dumb reason. Her indecisiveness on what to do with the godwoken scale also had me face palming. The correct choice was obvious, the serpent basically spelled it out for her, and yet she still wanted to make the wrong decision until her crew talked her out of it.

There could have been a little more action, but overall it was a good closure to the duology and I'm looking forward to more books by Adalyn Grace.

I love the emotions this book brought out in me. I struggled so much with Amora and her decisions and I LOVED it. I was angry with her but she also made complete sense to me. The adventure was non-stop and I loved the entire cast of characters. In the end, I was left feeling broken but that is my favorite way to leave a book. I've already got 2 different copies of this book coming my way now!

All the Tides of Fate by Adalyn Grace is the finale of The All the Stars and Teeth Duology. And picks up where the first novel left off, with Amora as the new queen after her father's death but with her magic removed from her and put in Bastian, leaving her unable to use her power. They quickly set off to find a way to reverse her curse under the guise of a tour of eligible bachelors to take as her king. She has to deal with the backlash to the changes she's made in the kingdom trying to right the wrongs her family committed in the past, and should her family rule at all, sorrow for her father's death and still loving him and trying to accept the flawed person he was. I was rather lukewarm about the first novel, but felt this one showed a lot of improvement. I found myself caring about the characters more in this one and the ending was very well done and even got a few tears from me, it left me feeling the tragedy of what happens, but hopeful for their future. I'm looking forward to seeing what the author does next.

Amora is now Queen, and must break the curse between her and Bastian in order to really rule to the most of her ability. She embarks on a quest to break the curse and become the people she needs. Grace does an excellent job building an intriguing world. Her prose is beautiful, creating images where you can almost feel the salt spray in the air. While I was intrigued with the story, it seems at times that the characterization was slightly choppy. Amora loves him, doesn't love him, loves him, etc. The buildup to the finale of the book fell slightly flat in my opinion. However, the story was entertaining and I enjoyed reading it due to the masterful imagery.

I received this book for free from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

This was a journey. I have lots of feelings, especially about Ferrick. I don't know how to process many of these things.

All in all, however, the book was good. It didn't hit quite as high as the first in the series did, especially because I was frustrated with Amora throughout this one so much. But it was good, and it didn't end how I thought it would (which is not a bad thing!).

I was able to read this immediately after finishing the first novel in this duology, All the Stars and Teeth, which I enjoyed and gave 3 stars to.
Unfortunately, All the Tides of Fate was not as good as its predecessor. There is still some nice world building here. There is creativity with the magics, the island descriptions, and the Barracudas and Shanty are a nice touch. However, that's about where the good stuff ends.
Full review given on Goodreads, linked below, with spoilers, but this had an uneven plot, poor character development, and a very unlikeable heroine.

I think this author has a lot of promise as a writer, and I'd be interested in future works that she writes, but this sequel is not very good.

I would go anywhere with Adalyn Grace and her tough yet genuine heroine Amora. Therefore, I excitedly read ALL THE TIDES OF FATE, her hugely anticipated follow-up to her splendid masterpiece ALL THE STARS AND TEETH.
Grace once again brings readers into an incredibly creative and beautiful fantasy world for a page-turning adventure.

I thank Grace so much for writing this lovely story, to Morgan Rath for her continuous generosity and friendliness, and to Macmillan Children's and NetGalley for this sought-after eARC!

I received this ARC through NetGalley. I loved "All the Stars and Teeth: by Adayln Grace and the conlusion novel " All the Tides a Fate" did not disappoint. Now that the people are free to practice any form of magic they wish, you will travel with Amora as she travels around her Kingdom as she figures out what is best for her people. This book is filled with adventure, magic and romance. Defiantly a must read for 2021.

I loved the first book in the series and All the Tides of Fate was the perfect second book. Everything that I enjoyed from the first book was even better in this one. I loved the characters and the world building. I highly recommend this series!

First off can we please appreciate this beautiful cover! It's so stunning and I love the colors.
I have so many emotions!! All the Tides of Fate was such a bittersweet ending to a wonderful duology. These books had everything; adventure, magic and a bad ass queen.
The crew came together again for another adventure in order to find Amora a husband, but that’s not all they’re searching for. It was cool getting to see more of the world through other islands and new characters. I still really enjoyed the magic system and the role magic played in the book.
There were still moments where Amora was a bit frustrating as a main character. Bastien was just great as ever though. I appreciated that we got to see more development with the characters and I felt like I zipped through the story so fast. I enjoyed every minute! I really wish this could have been a trilogy because I would have loved to see more of Visidia and its people, but I'm super excited about the author's future books!

Thank you to Netgalley, the author and the publisher for providing me with a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review!

Spoilers for All the Stars and Teeth ahead.

Amora is now High Animancer of Visidia, the queen of the kingdom. A difficult enough position to be in on a normal day, it feels near impossible with everything that’s happened. Ruling was never going to be easy; ruling from the throne on which her father died is another thing entirely.

It doesn’t help that due to Kaven’s curse, half of her soul is trapped in Bastian, and the two cannot be too far apart before their very cores feel as if they are being pulled apart by the separation. It’s highly unideal.

Then a former enemy surfaces with a clue to a solution: how to break Amora’s curse and prove once and for all she’s worthy to rule. Amora can’t help but take the bait, despite the secrets and lies she’s forced to tell along the way. Under the guise of exploring the kingdom for a potential husband -- the one thing the entirety of Visida agrees a young queen needs -- Amora and her friends set out on a journey to canvass the islands for answers.

Things get very complicated, very quickly.

Attempted kidnapping, attempted murder, theft, betrayal, and a bit of romance is just a drop in a bucket of this epic adventure. Amora’s journey to reunite the two pieces of her soul may just result in her realizing what it was she thought she wanted is not what she needs most.

I really enjoyed this book! It was a lovely follow-up that simply lacked the wow factor of the first book. Perhaps because the world is more familiar the second time around, perhaps because Amora herself was less sure and the narrative reflected that. The plot felt a bit choppy in places, the story not as smooth as before. I found myself confused at times as to what Amora's reality was and what was only in her mind -- which may have been the intention, but was a little jarring, though nevertheless indicative of an individual dealing with the effects of PTSD after a traumatic experience.

I hope there are more books in this series because I truly love this world, but I would also be perfectly content with the ending we received. Heartbreaking, but with the kind of open finality that could go either way should there be more stories to come. And that’s the best kind of ending to a tale, isn’t it?

MY HEART IS BROKEN INTO A MILLION PIECES AND I TRULY DOUBT IT WILL EVER RECOVER.
I've sat on this review for four days. FOUR DAYS of endless wallowing, waterfalls of tears, and a grief held so deep in my heart, it's grown roots and rests there permanently.

Yes. The sequel and finale to the book that millions of readers fell in love with did that to me. And it will do that to you.

All the Tides of Fate puts us back in Visidia, ready to go on one more seafaring adventure with our favorite fintastic found family back on the Keel Haul where they belong. This time around, it isn't the trip that's as dangerous as their bonds, figuring out just how far they can push each other and how much of the truth should be shared. It's less wild, Lusca and evil bad guy journey and more of one of the heart and of friendship. All the Tides of Fate does a sequel well, starting right where we left off and keeping an action packed slow burn whirlwind of emotions tugging and stabbing at you the entire time.

I'm not even going to address the ending because I don't think I can, still, despite it being several days. I am royally offended, immensely heartbroken, and am having a really hard time coming to terms with it. It's still a great sequel and despite being offended at the ending, I still love it and the series.

First off can we please appreciate these beautiful covers!!!

With the first book ending with our cursed heroes unsure of what to do about their situation, All the Tides of Fate was a thrilled conclusion in this duology. Amora has to adjust to being queen while fighting her feelings for Bastien, which she can't even tell are real or simply due to the curse. (I wanted to throttle her the whole time by the way but I totally get where she's coming from). Vatea is back as our kickass mermaid companion, and personally I would love a novella focused entirely on her.

As we follow our queen on a tour of the islands, we meet new people (loveeeee Shanty, thank you so much) and new foes. The takes on threatening monarchy were quite fascinating and it was especially a breath of fresh air to see Amora cultivate her own ideas while still honoring her fam. A epic high seas adventure, full of decadence, debauchery, romance, and fancy daggers. Can't wait for more from Adalyn Grace.
