SO SO EXCITED TO READ THIS ARC

Big thank you NetGalley and to the publisher for the chance to review this book pre-release. Lore of the Tides was an absolute master-class follow up to the adventure in Lore of the Wilds. We got to see even more of the ever-expanding world, meet more races of creatures, and I loved every second of it. I loved that this was a duology, and felt like there was a perfect amount of world-building, dialogue and action to keep me invested the entire time. I also loved the romance, it felt natural & I really loved the character dynamics. A more formal review will be available on my IG/TikTok and Goodreads for release.

“I will love you until they put me in the ground, and even then, my love will endure.”

I’m not crying, you are 😭

What an absolutely beautiful conclusion to Lore’s story. Lore’s journey takes us to far off places and we meet and come to love many new faces. The new kingdoms we see and world building is stunning. This book gave me ALL the emotions and I love it dearly.

In a much anticipated sequel to Lore of the Wilds, Analeigh Sbrana comes back with a vengeance and takes the reader to unchartered worlds and territories. Let’s start with what I loved about this book first - the imagery Sbrana created as Lore proceeds on her journey to ultimately save her human family, the new characters we meet along the way, the “lore” (no pun intended) with the magic system - all incredibly interesting and well thought out. Unfortunately I was not as impressed with the editing in this sequel though - I’m not sure why but it felt disconnected in transitions and I found myself skipping ahead through some scenes - maybe that’s just where I was personally but it definitely didn’t intrigue me as much as the first book held on to my attention. I think the concepts and the general plot though were fantastic and I am very much looking forward to reading whatever else Analeigh creates next because I think these sorts of things can only improve with more experience and we LOVE rooting her on. Overall, still recommend and will be supporting this author on her writing journey.

Loved this story. Perfect ending. Humor was A+ and the fantasy and storyline was just fantastic. I was hooked from start to finish.

Such a great conclusion to this duology. Filled with action, humor and tension. I I felt a myriad of emotions, especially toward Syrelle. I love Lore's development and her really leaning into her new powers. I adored the new characters that were introduced and really liked the new worlds we were able to explore. Finn, FINN! I LOVE THAT MAN. He was the perfect blend of supportive and loving without being stifling.
I'm so happy with the conclusion of this story and can't wait to read more from Analeigh Sbrana.

Lore of the Tides immediately brings you back into the world of its predecessor with ease, and has you sucked back into seeing the plight of Lore and her people. I really loved Lore as a protagonist in this book. She was strong and resolute in her notions, and she had developed and actually changed since the beginning of the first book. I appreciated the resolution of the love triangle and where it went. I also really enjoyed that we got a chance to actually get to know Finndryl in this book, and all of his interactions with Lore were some of the highlights of this book.

Lore of the Tides is a sequel that manages to be even better than the first!

I was so so thrilled to read the closer of Lore’s story. The setting was incredible and I loved the magic system. I wish some sections were just a bit faster paced, but overall I’m so pleased and love this duology. 🩷

"Lore of the Tides" is the perfect conclusion to the Lore of the Wilds duology that will leave you breathless! We get all our questions answered and it doesn't drag on!

We pick up right where we left off and waste no time getting into the story! Therefore, this should not be read without having read the first book. Don't worry, it's quick and you'll fly through it! If you're a fan of epic adventures, complex characters, and powerful themes, this is a story you don't want to miss.

Loved this book! I went in completely blind and assumed it was a book about Pirates and mermaids having a turf war. But it was so much more than that! It was so exciting and I was hooked until the very end.

I loved the first book so was so excited to read this one and it totally lived up to my expectations! It was a perfect duology where all our answers were had and it didn’t drag on. Loved the characters and our FMC is badass but also soft and vulnerable at times. The romance is amazing and exactly what I wanted! I enjoyed this even more then book 1 as the plot was faster paced. Highly recommend!

A perfect duet. I loved and devoured the first one so I jumped at the chance to read this as well and it did not disappoint in any way.

This has everything I love, chemistry, hilarious banter, found family and just ugh the magic is creative as hell. This is an incredibly underrated duet and I’m freaking honored to read this.

10/10

Lore of the Tides is an epic conclusion to the Lore of the Wilds duology! Tides is a rollercoaster of action-packed adventures with an incredible cast of characters featuring friends, lovers, enemies, and found family. Picking up right after the massive cliffhanger we were left with in Wilds, Tides is all about having empathy for others, making tough choices, and protecting the ones you love. A wonderful world of fantasy and magic that you don't want to miss.

I love the magic and mystery of this duology so much. The characters humor made me laugh. A strong fmc will always be my favorite
